ChainCatcher news, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted on social media, speaking highly of the latest developments in the Ethereum ecosystem. Buterin noted that Ethereum has made significant progress in several key areas:

  • L2 network transaction fees dropped to less than $0.01;

  • Optimism and Arbitrum, two EVM-compatible L2 networks, have entered the first phase;

  • The cross-L2 wallet user experience has been greatly improved;

  • ZK tools become more powerful and mature, simplifying application development; second-generation privacy tools begin to emerge;

  • The identity, reputation and credential ecosystem is stronger and increasingly used;

  • STARK technology advances improve long-term security and decentralization prospects;

  • The roadmap for account abstraction and blockchain construction is clearer;

  • Staking decentralization remains stable, breaking the saying that "PoS is more centralized than PoW".

Buterin stressed that these developments make Ethereum’s fundamentals exceptionally strong.
