According to Wu, Aave founder and CEO Stani tweeted that Ethereum should not focus on gaming, staking issuance, and reducing staking rewards. Instead, its protocol layer priorities should be privacy, scalability, and security. At the application layer, efforts should be made to expand on-chain applications for financial systems like stablecoins, DeFi, and RWA. Ethereum has made significant progress over the past decade, but the final stage is the most critical.
