* Under $0.01 txfees on L2
* Two EVM L2s (
@Optimism
@arbitrum
) now at stage 1
* Cross-L2 wallet UX has improved a lot (eg. no more manually switching networks), though still a long way to go
* Much more powerful and mature ZK tooling making life easier for app builders
* Starting to see second-generation privacy tools (eg.
@0xbowio
)
* Identity/reputation/credentials ecosystem much more powerful, and starting to actually be used more and more
* Progress on STARKs leads to much clearer long-term security and decentralization story
* Much more clarity on account abstraction roadmap
* Much more clarity on block construction endgame (it seems to be down to FOCIL + APS vs multi-proposer)
* Staking decentralization stable (see comparison charts below, the "PoS is more centralized than PoW" line has proven completely false)
The fundamentals for Ethereum are actually crazy strong right now."
