Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has emphasized the importance of layer-2 decentralization, revealing his plans to only recognize scaling solutions at the initial stage of his decentralization scale. Buterin stated that from next year onwards, he will only acknowledge layer-2 networks that have reached a certain level of development. He mentioned a potential grace period for promising new projects. Buterin expressed excitement about zero-knowledge rollup teams progressing towards the first stage of decentralization by the end of the year. He introduced the concept of 'training wheels' for Ethereum scaling projects, outlining a three-stage path to decentralization. The first stage involves basic functionalities, while the second stage requires fraud-proof mechanisms and a security council. The final stage aims for complete decentralization with bug-free code and limited use of security councils. Several layer-2 teams are optimistic about achieving full decentralization in the coming years. Read more AI-generated news on: https://app.chaingpt.org/news
