Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum, has recently changed his public position regarding Layer 2 (L2) solutions. From next year, he intends to only talk of L2 projects that are at Stage 1 or above. Buterin wants to focus on projects with a higher level of decentralization, emphasizing maturity and progress. This shift in emphasis marks a turning point for <a href="https://cryptotale.org/based-rollups-may-solve-ethereums-layer-2-fee-problem/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum&#39;s </a>development.&lt;embed&gt;<a href="https://x.com/VitalikButerin/status/1834061075970683367" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://x.com/VitalikButerin/status/1834061075970683367</a>&lt;/embed&gt;<h2 id="header-0">Raising the Bar for Layer 2 Projects</h2>Buterin&#39;s stance marks a clear break from his previous approach. In the past, he has been more lenient in discussing various L2 projects, even if they hadn’t fully reached certain milestones. However, he now clarifies that personal investments or friendships will no longer influence his decisions.Stage 1 projects, defined by the ability of at least 75% of council members to override the proof system, with 26% being independent of the rollup team, are the minimum threshold. This represents a new level of accountability and credibility for L2s.<h2 id="header-1">Balancing Innovation with Security</h2>Several <a href="https://cryptotale.org/what-are-blockchain-rollups-optimistic-and-zk-rollups-explained-in-detail/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ZK-rollup</a> teams have communicated their intent to meet Stage 1 by the end of this year. Buterin sees this development as a critical step toward further decentralization. These ZK-rollups, which allow scaling while maintaining privacy and security, have been a key focus in Ethereum’s ongoing evolution.Reaching Stage 1 ensures that these projects no longer rely on centralized multi-signature (multisig) setups, which have long been a temporary solution for ensuring liveness and security.<a href="https://cryptotale.org/vitalik-buterin-to-prioritize-stage-1-l2-projects-in-2025/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Read more on Cryptotale.</a>Visit the links for more information <a href="https://cryptotale.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Website</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/cryptotalemedia" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Twitter </a>| <a href="https://t.me/cryptotale_news" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Telegram </a>| <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cryptotalenews/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Instagram </a>|
