Anthony Sassano (@sassal0x), founder of The Daily Gwei, wrote on X: “In my opinion, the most exciting thing about the rollup-centric roadmap is that it allows unlimited experimentation (scaling is also important, but this is the stakes for L2). L2 is not restricted by L1 and can try different execution environments (and many other things) while benefiting from Ethereum’s huge network effect. This makes Ethereum a ‘black hole’ for innovation. In the past, when people wanted to build non-EVM protocols, they had to enter another L1. Now they can stay on the Ethereum track and experiment to their heart’s content. Of course, most of these experiments may not get enough attention, but the key is that we can now conduct these experiments in the Ethereum ecosystem—no longer causing developers and users to flow out to other ecosystems because of non-EVM attempts. I am optimistic that the Ethereum ecosystem is a hotbed of innovation and experimentation in the crypto field.”
