Odaily Planet Daily reports that the Ethereum Foundation explains the collaborative relationship and roles of Ethereum L1 and L2. The article states that the primary goal of L2 has shifted from scaling Ethereum to providing differentiated features, customized services, and independent market strategies. Meanwhile, L1 should continue to expand as a permissionless hub for global settlement, shared state, liquidity, and DeFi, without sacrificing core attributes such as censorship resistance, open source, privacy, and security.

The article recommends that L2s seeking the closest integration with L1 should promote synchronized composability, full interoperability, shared liquidity, and Stage 2 validation, while exploring native Rollup mechanisms. L2s should at least reach Stage 1 and pass the “walkaway” test to ensure users can safely exit to L1 even in the presence of malicious actors.

The Ethereum Foundation states it will continue to expand L1 and blob capacity, advance native Rollup technology development, improve L1 liquidity and L2 liquidity access, and collaborate with organizations like L2Beat to monitor L2 security properties. Additionally, a Platform team led by Josh Rudolf has been established to enhance the overall Ethereum platform experience.
