The main ethereum layer 2 networks (L2), including the base, optimism and the referee, are ready to renounce millions of dollars in income to make the ecosystem more interconnected.
Fragmentation has been a long -standing problem with ethereum. There are too many L2 that do not interact without problems (if they do) and are too centralized.
The 'based' and 'native' scrolls could solve this.
In the light of the early update, the whales have accumulated $ eth at an unprecedented rate: more than $ 3.8b in two days.
Let us start how this news can affect the ecosystem.
The cost of safety: What are Rollups based and native?
Core ethereum developer, Justin Drake, proposed the concept of accumulations based on 2023. Currently, L2 such as the referee and optimism are based on isolated sequencers to process faster transactions at the expense of decentralization.
The cuddled based would return the processing of transactions to the ethereum Mainnet, which means that they would be validated by all the nodes instead of a single sequencer.
In addition, Native Rollups Create optimized environments inside the ethereum base layer instead of processing data outside the chain and sending results to Mainnet.
However, these improvements would compromise transaction speeds: decentralized sequencing will increase blocking times to approximately 12 seconds compared to its current of 1 second.
In addition to that, L2S would lose a substantial part of the income they generate from gas rates. Even so, it seems that L2 executives do not care these compensations for the good of security and the unit of the ecosystem.
While ethereum fought with scalability and decentralization lately, whales wait about the future of the ecosystem.
In the last two days, whales bought $ 3.8b at $ eth. This includes the family business of Trump World Liberty Financial, which <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/spotonchain/status/1882949734211686885″ target=”_blank” rel=”noopener nofollow”>spent $ 20 million on Saturday and brought its $ 193 million $ 193 million portfolio.
Interestingly, the ethereum Foundation went against the trend and <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/lookonchain/status/1883832026845065548″ target=”_blank” rel=”noopener nofollow”>sold $ 14 million in $ eth Since January 2, including $ 308K a few hours ago.
Wall Street Pepe ($ Wepe) could take ethereum Altcoin Bull Run
ethereum update can benefit the price of $ eth and all alternatives in the ecosystem.
A new ethereum -based project that has been rapidly winning traction is Wall Street Pepper ($ Wepe)A worthy original PEPE contender (who recently lost ground to Trump's official MEME currency and has shown that he is not so difficult to overcome).
The $ Wepe presale was launched at the end of 2024 and raised more than $ 61 million. Wepe's relatable mission is the most likely reason for such an early success.
Whales such as governments, banks and rich people can manipulate the market in their favor due to the large number of funds they have. Worse, they can conspire with internal groups to amplify their influence.
$ Wepe brings together an army of 'Thirsty Degens': retail investors wishing to level the playing field. Together, $ Wepe followers will share proven commercial strategies and market information to crush Toro's career.

There are only 20 days left to buy $ Wepe and join the Frog Battalion. A $ Wepe now costs $ 0.0003665, which is the final price before the presale ends, and the first users will claim their tokens.
The project establishes the high bar with CEX listings in sight, so $ Wepe could rise to $ 0.0013 if it maintains the impulse.
Final observations
Achieving efficiency, decentralization and interoperability at the same time is not an easy task. ethereum now prioritizes the last two, and only time will say if it is the right decision.
Even so, whale activity shows that the community approves this strategy.
It is likely that positive developments benefit the entire ecosystem, including alternative alternatives in the initial stage as $ Us.
