Vitalik dey push 1-hour L2 withdrawals pass decentralization
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin don change priority for Layer 2 scaling, e dey focus on make Layer 2 withdrawal take just 1 hour, no be to push for maximum decentralization. E talk say make person wait for week before withdrawal no good for user experience and e dey make cross-chain costs high because liquidity dey locked for intent-based bridges like ERC-7683. To solve dis one, Vitalik propose one 2-of-3 hybrid proof system wey combine ZK proofs, Optimistic Rollups, and Trusted Execution Environments (TEE). Dis method go make Layer 2 withdrawal fast inside one hour and make 12-second finality happen without waiting for full ZK maturity. Dis change from idealistic decentralization fight to correct performance goals go set ground for rollup-centric Ethereum wey Layer 1 go be settlement and liquidity hub. Success go depend on how dem fit reduce ZK proof gas costs wey now pass 500k gas, plus how dem fit put proofs together across rollups into per-slot submissions every 12 seconds. L2 projects wey dey focus on ZK optimization go gain more traction, but those wey dey rely only on Optimistic Rollups fit fall behind.
Bullish
Short term, dis announcement fit boost Ethereum sentiment by solve big UX wahala — long time to withdraw — plus promise faster Layer 2 withdrawals. Traders fit increase activity and staking as dem expect better access to money, which go support better price movement. Long term, di proposed 2-of-3 hybrid system and focus on reducing ZK proof cost go make rollup ecosystem stronger and make Ethereum main layer for settlement. As usability and scalability improve, demand for ETH fit rise more, which go make bullish outlook strong.
