Ethereum developers undertake to cooperate as Eter’s Woes problems lead to “War time” mentality – DL News

One of the developers described it as a “moment of reflection.” Another is called, simply, “wartime.”

On Friday, many influential program developers, on Friday, pledged to cooperate after the second largest Blockchain in the world this month through the accusations he lost quickly.

The problem is an old problem – can Etharium fulfill its promise as the backbone of the new non -central internet? The developers of Blockchains from the competing layer 2, including the base, optimism, and definition, and Scroll, said they will cooperate to overcome a major problem in that result: meaning that the Blockchain community breaks to dozens of feuds where class 2 competes for users and liquidity.

“I don’t know if you can feel it in the air, but I think you can: it’s in wartime,” said Ben Jones, one of the founders of optimism. Virtual meeting Leaded by the researcher at Ethereum Justin Drake.

“It is time to make improvements in our ecosystem.”

Certainly, Ethereum developers have released significant promotions for each of the past three years. These promotions greatly reduce energy use and the cost of transactions on Blockchains layer 2.

But the encrypted Blockchain coin, the ether, was disappointment. Although Bitcoin records and Solana had shattered prices three years ago, Ether crashed in 2024 and early 2025 for $ 3,000, or about 30 % shy of their highest level ever.

Critics turned their attention to the Ethereum Foundation, a non -profit organization based in Switzerland led by the co -founder of the founder and founder in Blockchain, Vitalik Buterin.

Criticism of the institution, which was boiling months ago, Boiled This month, where supporters have long called on the toppling of the CEO Aya Magucci.

Calls installed to form a competitive institution that make ETHER prices a priority and plays a greater role in the continuous Blockchain development.

in mail Burin said that the institution that participates at the end of last week, that the basis is already making “major changes” on leadership, although he insisted that these changes preceded the last controversy.

Ethereum developers said during a Friday invitation that they were feeling the moment.

“We are in a moment of reflection, and the world began to appear faster and faster,” said Jesse Pollack, the developer behind Quebes Al -Qaeda.

“Now, we are not in a good position to pick up this request.”

He said that his colleagues expected an increase in demand from 10 to 20 times this year, much more than the expected additional capacity in the main promotion of Ethereum, Pectra.

“We are in the situation of war,” said Drake, a researcher at Ethereum. “We change the gears and move much faster.”

Last week, a an offer For the “original rollups” that will bring Blockchains Layer 2 in a closer alignment with ETHEREM itself.

Drake argued that he was very technical-but the key to Ethereum’s success in the long run.

Ethereum is slow and costly, the cost of its focus on decentralization, or “censorship resistance” in the encryption language.

To realize his ambition to become a “global computer”, Ethereum adopted the so -called second layer blocks.

It is also known as rollups, and they treat transactions separately before assembling and submitting them to Ethereum. As of Friday, there were 56 layers 2 Blockchain in the process, according to L2BEAT.

But many of them are relatively central, and they depend on small committees with special privileges to make emergency and routine promotions. Original security will have a much greater security than Blockchains Layer 2 today, making such committees unnecessary.

“If we will bring countries, national institutions and large funds – think about trillions of dollars, and dozens of trillion dollars – we cannot obtain these security councils. Drake said:

In short, Blockchains in Layer 2 needs to rely on the focus on decentralization and reliability that has become the ETHEREUM call card.

On Friday, the founders of some Blockchains Layer 2 said they supported the Drake proposal.

“Until a day or two, I was largely transferred to the original Rollups idea,” said Stephen Golddler, co -founder of Arbitrum in a letter previously registered during the meeting.

Golddler said he initially believed that the concept will force the developers of the 2 -layer Blondchin to adopt very specific technology and suffocate innovation.

But a Blog post From Burin, the post on Thursday, he convinced Golddler, otherwise.

“It is a great vision, but it is also early in the search stage.”

Jones, co -founder of optimism, said that optimism can follow the follow -up of the original Rollup technology. However, he also emphasized the need to bring sub -transactions and the second to Ethereum itself.

Meanwhile, Base’s Pollak said, that nothing was more important than the support of developers who build applications on top of ETHEREUM and its twenties from Blockchains layer 2.

“The only thing that matters is to offer products to the customers who love him,” he said.

“If we do not do that, none of these things and I think frankly, there are still a lot of opportunities to do this better.”
