Odaily Planet Daily News Vitalik Buterin responded to criticism of Ethereum's current Layer 2 user experience, which is often seen as fragmented and complicated, saying that "Ethereum people should not feel the need to justify current shortcomings when building for the future." Vitalik insisted that Ethereum is building the future and emphasized his previous article on a potential cross-Layer 2 interoperability roadmap. He said that achieving simpler cross-Layer 2 interactions requires technology and community collaboration to establish consistent standards, but will ultimately create a cohesive experience between Ethereum's Layer 1 and Layer 2. "If we take the idea of Layer 2 being part of Ethereum seriously, we need to make using the Layer 2 ecosystem feel like using a unified Ethereum ecosystem." (The Block)
