Specifically: 1. Application data availability By mirroring "game assets" from the second layer to the first layer, users' digital assets are made permanent; 2. Layer2 interoperability Introducing cross-chain bridges, standard data formats, and application programming interfaces to achieve smooth movement of assets and data between different Layer2s; 3. Ecosystem scalability Use the Oasys Verse Developer Kit (Oasys VDK) for Layer2 Builder to promote and accelerate development.
4. Vitalik reveals some regrets about Ethereum’s initial design
On May 30, at this year's ETHBerlin event, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin described some of his regrets about the initial design of Ethereum. Vitalik said he had a list of things he could have done differently. These things range from the development of the Ethereum virtual machine to smart contracts to the proof-of-stake consensus mechanism. He also said that even as Ethereum becomes more mainstream, it is still misunderstood. ETHBerlin organizer Afri Schoeden asked: "Based on everything you know and have learned in the past 10 years, if you could start from scratch today, how would you build Ethereum differently?" Vitalik said that Ethereum's original EVM design chose 256-bit processing instead of 64 or 32 bits. The original design was too complicated for 256 bits, which was very inefficient and could generate a lot of redundant data on the blockchain even when performing simple tasks. In addition, Vitalik said that Ethereum's switch from the proof-of-work consensus mechanism to proof-of-stake in 2022 should be done earlier. Vitalik also mentioned: "Automatic logging of Ethereum transfers should have existed from the beginning, and it only took us 30 minutes to code it, but it became an EIP." EIP-7708, submitted by Vitalik on May 17, will make this precise change. Vitalik also said that if he chooses again, he will use SHA-2 to encrypt Ethereum instead of the current encryption algorithm called Keccak.
