EVM - Ethereum's Vitalik Buterin Suggests Changes To Layer-2 Posing Challenges For Projects | Benzinga
Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH), has suggested reverting some functionalities from layer-2 networks back to the Ethereum main chain. This might cause disruption amongst significant layer-2 projects.
What Happened: CoinDesk reported that Buterin, previously a supporter of transferring more computational load to layer-2 networks, is now considering reversing some of those changes. His “enshrined zkEVM” concept could significantly impact layer-2 projects like Polygon, Matter Labs, and Scroll, which have heavily invested in the previous direction. These networks, with billions of dollars in user deposits, are already operational, with project leaders actively recruiting developers.
The proposed “zkEVM,” a blend of “zero knowledge” cryptography and “EVM” ...
