Vitalik Buterin Foresees Diverse Scaling Strategies for Ethereum L2 Solutions
Ethereum’s co-founder, Vitalik Buterin, has released a comprehensive analysis that delves deep into the intricate world of Layer 2 (L2) solutions on the blockchain.

In a chain analysis report published on October 31, Buterin acknowledged the rapid growth of the L2 ecosystem, specifically highlighting the segments of ZK-EVM (Zero-Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine) rollups implemented in top projects.
These projects include Arbitrum, StarkNet, Optimism, Scroll, Taiko, and Kakarot.
He commended the enhanced security measures in place and identified L2beat as a reliable source for summarizing the state of each project.
A notable observation of Buterin’s report is the growing diversity within various L2 scaling solutions due to three major factors – the drive of L1, centralized projects, and non-financial applications.
However, this is based on the nature and value of activities conducted on-chain, recognizing that not all activities require the same level of security.
Buterin also pointed out that while Ethereum L1 users may be accustomed to the fees associated with transactions, new users wouldn’t, especially when transitioning from a fee-free environment.
Ethereum’s co-founder further analyzed different L2 scaling solutions, notably Rollups, Validiums, and Disconnected Systems, based on their security and scalability capabilities.
Through a detailed chart, Buterin addressed how confident users can be when moving their assets from the L1 to these L2 solutions and back to L1. This involves assessing the risk and security associated with these movements.
He highlighted solutions such as a validating bridge and explained that the cost
