Ethereum Foundation Announces Formation of Platform Team to Build Unified Platform Harnessing Ethereum L1+L2 Synergies

BlockBeats News, February 19th, the Ethereum Foundation announced the establishment of a Platform Team, aiming to build the strongest possible Ethereum platform to better support users, applications, and all Ethereum-based organizations at both the L1 and L2 layers. Improving the relationship between the L1 and L2 layers to create a mutually reinforcing system across all levels.

The Foundation stated that since the initial proposal of a Rollup-centric roadmap five years ago, a chain ecosystem has been developed around the Ethereum L1 layer. The early Rollup mindset has been replaced by a diverse set of L2 layer networks, each with a unique and valuable economic system, thereby extending Ethereum's core features to millions of users.

As Ethereum matures, the Foundation believes that more measures must be taken to build a unified platform that fully leverages the unique advantages of the Ethereum system (L1 + L2). This includes enhancing the value proposition of L2, optimizing the adoption-driven mechanisms of L2 to more broadly create value for Ethereum, guiding the ecosystem towards a more secure, permissionless architecture, and streamlining the adoption process for users and institutions. Importantly, building a robust Ethereum means driving technical improvements to strengthen and enhance Ethereum's core features and its unique advantages.
