Ye Zhang, co-founder of ethereum Layer-2 Network Scroll, has backed up the calls to be imposed in the layers of layer 2.
Zhang argued in a detailed in social networks <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/yezhang1998/status/1907266208317223133″>mail On April 2, that the proposal was detrimental to ethereum's long -term vision. He called it a “toxic” approach that prioritizes short -term income over the lasting value of the ecosystem.
According to Zhang, ethereum's strength is not to extract tariffs from the rolls but in eth positioning as the central asset in multi -layer 2 ecosystems (L2). He argued that taxing these networks reflects corporate behavior and goes against the principles of decentralization that ethereum represents.
He stressed that ethereum's value should not be measured by the entry of the protocol. Instead, the network should be considered an economic basis for an increasing ecosystem focused on the curled up.
He noticed:
“The true strength of eth is not in protocol rates: it is to become the center's asset in thousands of accumulated ecosystems. That is the future.”
Zhang explained that eth's advantage is its presence on the main L2 platforms such as base, arbitrum, optimism, Zksync and Scroll. Even in networks such as Starknet, which do not use eth for gas for gas, said that the digital asset remains a key negotiation in decentralized exchanges.
ethereum's future
Given this, Zhang described two possible directions for ethereum. In a scenario, eth evolves to a reliable value store and a central center for rolled activity.
According to Zhang:
“Each l2 aligned expands the surface of ethereum and social consensus. A thousand scalable rolls with eth as the center> any monolithic chain.”
On the other hand, ethereum could focus on taxing the activity of L2, which could take them to alternative data availability and reduce eth's influence on the broader blockchain panorama.
To avoid this, Zhang urged the community to concentrate on scaling execution and improving data availability infrastructure.
He asked for a 1000X improvement in Blob's capacity and encouraged to build shared tools such as cross -roll liquidity bridges and interoperability solutions.
Zhang concluded:
“eth wins for being gravity, not the toll booth.”
