Vitalik Buterin Criticizes Layer-2 Focus in Ethereum's Roadmap

Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum, has voiced strong concerns regarding the current direction of the blockchain's layer-2 strategies. He emphasized that certain layer-2 networks have compromised on decentralization, which is a fundamental principle of blockchain technology.

During a recent discussion, Buterin argued that these networks should not be labeled merely as extensions of the Ethereum ecosystem. Instead, he believes they require an approach that embodies the core values of decentralization and autonomy.
