Ethereum's Vitalik Buterin Amps Up Pressure on Layer-2 Networks to Decentralize Further

In 2022, Buterin proposed a set of stages for rollups, to classify them in their pursuit of decentralization. The criteria is meant to showcase that rollups tend to rely on “training wheels” and deploy their protocols to users before it's ready to fully decentralize.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin wrote on X that he will be weighing in on layer 2 networks differently in his public posts from now on – omitting mentions of those projects that aren't decentralized enough... Read more here.
