Layer 2 Solutions Are The Future of Ethereum Scaling, Says Vitalik Buterin
Ethereum’s scaling hurdles have been at the center of technical discussions among DeFi aficionados and
- Vitalik Buterin, in his opening remarks during this year’s edition of the Shanghai Blockchain Week in China, talked about the future of Ethereum scaling.
- Reportedly, he believes that the only safe way to scale Ethereu while also maintaining a worthwhile level of decentralization is to use Layer 2 solutions.
- He acknowledged that there’s a serious need to make the network more scalable while also admitting that Ethereum’s native scaling solutions through sharding would take a long time.
- Instead, Rollups – a well-known and popular Layer 2 solution that handles transactions aside from the Ethereum chain and posts them on the chain, could provide a serious scalability factor.
- This is not the first time Buterin talks about Rollups and the benefits they could bring for the ecosystem.
- As CryptoPotato reported, he also said so on the Tim Ferris Podcast, even going so far as to claim that Ethereum can scale 100x in a few months using Rollups. That was back in March.
