Ethereum's Path to Cross-Chain Compatibility Vitalik Buterin

  • Vitalik Buterin supports cross-chain cooperation in Ethereum, particularly for Layer 2 (L2) networks.

  • Optimism introduces the ICrosschainERC20 interface for better interoperability between L2s.

  • Buterin emphasizes the need for wallet-level standardization and native interoperability for rare ERC20s and NFTs.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin weighed in on an ongoing discussion about cross-chain compatibility in the Ethereum ecosystem. His comments came in response to a new technical update shared on Optimism’s GitHub, which introduced the ICrosschainERC20 interface, designed to enable better interoperability between different Layer 2 (L2) networks.

This update aimed to improve the user experience by enabling neutral minting and burning functions thereby simplifying asset transfers between L2s. The development is part of a broader effort to unify Ethereum infrastructure across various chains.

Buterin expressed optimism about the level of cooperation within the Ethereum community, stating, “I think people are sleeping on just how much Ethereum infrastructure players really are willing to cooperate and build a unified Ethereum ecosystem.”
