On October 17, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin published an article titled "Possible futures for the Ethereum protocol, part 2: The Surge", which discussed the future development of Ethereum and proposed key goals. Emphasis is placed on improving transaction processing capabilities, with the goal of achieving 100,000 transactions per second after combining L1 and L2.
L2 solutions must retain the core properties of Ethereum, such as decentralization, openness, and censorship resistance. Ethereum's scalability trilemma, that is, the balance between decentralization, scalability, and security, proposes exploring methods such as sharding technology and data availability sampling to address these challenges.
Emphasis is placed on enhancing interoperability between L2s to enable the free flow of assets across different networks. Ethereum should be a unified ecosystem, not multiple isolated blockchains
