Виталик Бутерин призывает создавать инновационные решения вместо копирования EVM-сетей Headline: Vitalik Buterin Calls for Innovative Solutions Instead of Copying EVM Networks

Industries do not require new L1 blockchains or networks that replicate the EVM. According to Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin, this strategy has «led developers into a dead end, stifling creativity.»

He emphasized that the first layer of the ecosystem is effectively scaling, rendering the establishment of yet another network with an «optimistic» bridge and a week-long withdrawal delay pointless.

Instead of duplicating existing infrastructure, he urged the development of fundamentally innovative solutions. Among the key areas Buterin highlighted are:

He also specifically referred to «institutional L2 solutions,» which include government registries, social networks, or games that leverage cryptographic proofs. Even if these systems remain centralized, they offer algorithmic transparency, which is vital for building trust.

Buterin criticized projects that mimic connections to Ethereum merely for the “green checkmark” on analytics platforms. Positioning should align with technical realities.

Over three days, Buterin sold about 2,961 ETH for a total of $6.6 million.

According to Lookonchain, the average execution price for the transactions was $2,228.

As reported by Arkham, the transactions were processed through the CoW Protocol. Rather than executing one large transaction, Buterin opted to split the volume into numerous smaller swaps.

It’s worth noting that in February, Buterin stated that the original concept of layer two solutions has lost its relevance.

L2 developers responded to this assertion by agreeing on the need for evolution, yet they differed on the role of scaling in this process.
