On August 22, Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, posted on social media that "Ethereum has become stronger: Transaction fees on L2 are less than $0.01 Two EVM L2s (Optimism and Arbitrum) are now in their first phase The user experience of wallets has improved considerably (e.g., no longer needing to switch networks manually), but there is still a long way to go More powerful and mature ZK tools make the job of application developers easier We are starting to see the emergence of second-generation privacy tools (e.g. 0xbowio). The identity/reputation/credential ecosystem has become more powerful and is starting to be used more and more in practice Advances in STARKs shed more light on the prospects for long-term security and decentralization The account abstraction roadmap is clearer The final scenario for block construction is more clear (seems to come down to a choice between FOCIL + APS and multiple proponents). Staking decentralization remains stable (the claim that "PoS is more centralized than PoW" has been proven completely false) The fundamentals of Ethereum are actually very strong right now. "
