Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has outlined his vision for achieving seamless cross-chain interoperability among Ethereum layer-2 (L2) networks.
In a recent post on X, Buterin discussed the most promising approaches to resolving cross-L2 interoperability challenges.
The conversation followed his August 5 post, where he expressed optimism about overcoming these issues, predicting a smooth user experience across Ethereum’s L2 networks.
Vitalik Buterin said that a strong collective effort within the community is needed to realize this goal, highlighting several Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) aimed at enhancing cross-L2 compatibility.
One key proposal on this roadmap is EIP-3370, which introduces a new address standard.
The standard requires wallets and decentralized applications (dApps) to display chain-specific addresses using a human-readable prefix, simplifying the user interface.
Another significant step is EIP-7683, which seeks to establish a standard communication protocol for different Ethereum L2 networks.
This proposal aims to facilitate efficient asset trading across chains, addressing the current complexities and inefficiencies users face when moving assets between networks.
By implementing a unified set of rules, EIP-7683 would streamline inter-chain transactions.
Cross-L2 roadmap in one tweet:
* 3770 (cross-L2 addrs)
* 7683 (cross-L2 sends via liquidity providers)
* 3668 (L2 light clients)
* Cross-L2-replayable account state updates
The above is enough already. Later, phase 2:
* L1sload/staticcall
* Keystore rollups
* Proof aggregation

Additionally, EIP-3668 is on the agenda, proposing a method for Ethereum smart contracts to access off-chain data in a standardized
