We have @VitalikButerin on stage at ETHGlobal Taipei discussing Ethereum in 2025 and addressing a common misconception: that if most activity happens on Layer 2s, we can ignore L1 scalability.

He argues that most L2 apps heavily benefit from at least some L1 use:

- L1 https://t.co/uMNTUXvciw

Ethereum should embrace not just being the DA layer for L2s, but also the economic HQ:

- Home for mint/burn of all native assets
- Interop coordination layer across L2s
- Asset pools and batch clearing of L2 orders
- Export access to bridges, ramps, etc for L2s
