Ethereum co-founder Vitalik tweeted that the best way to build Layer 2 is to rely more on the features provided by Layer 1 (security, censorship resistance, proofs, data availability, etc.) and simplify the logic to only act as a sequencer and prover on top of the core execution layer (or only as a prover if based on the Base network). Vitalik believes that this approach achieves a combination of trust minimization and efficiency maximization. [Wu Blockchain]

Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum (ETH), has shared his insights into how blockchain projects, particularly Layer 2 solutions, can be built to achieve success. In a &nbsp; post on X, Buterin noted that "The best way to build an L2 is to lean into the L1's offerings." Notably, the Ethereum founder is saying that the most effective way to build a Layer 2 blockchain is to rely on Layer 1 offerings. These include the security, data, censorship resistance and proofs provided by the base layer. This is critical, as it allows Layer 2s to focus on sequencing, which involves ordering transactions and verifying their validity. For instance, on Ethereum, this happens via zero-knowledge proofs or fraud proofs. The best way to build an L2 is to lean into the L1's offerings (security, censorship resistance, proofs, data avail...) more, and reduce your logic to just being a sequencer and a prover (if based, just a prover) over the core execution. This is the combination of trust…  https://t.co/YLsDth3oZz Buterin argues that this model achieves efficiency and faster performance. It also eliminates the need for users to build trust in new validators. He highlighted that if a Layer 2 (L2) fails, users are confident that the Layer 1 (L1), in this case, Ethereum, can act as a safety net. Interestingly, this is already being achieved with Celo, a Layer 2 secured by Ethereum. Celo was originally a layer-1 blockchain, but since its transition, it has significantly reduced block times from five seconds to one second and halved inflation. Vitalik Buterin suggests that, in the future, many Layer 1s may follow this blueprint and transition to becoming Layer 2s on Ethereum. He maintains this is the blockchain vision that many thought impossible in the early days. The aim is to ensure scalability, sustainability and ease of access for developers. Following Celo’s transition, it has gained traction and recognition from industry players. As &nbsp; U.Today reported , Celo flipped Tron in the number of daily active addresses, highlighting its growth. The latest insight from Buterin does not negate his earlier stance on the&nbsp; four essential characteristics of sustainable and scalable L1 blockchains. [U.Today]

Vitalik Buterin Breaks Silence on Core Requirements to Build Layer 2: Details

On July 15 (UTC+8), Ethereum co-founder Vitalik stated that the best way to build Layer 2 is to rely more on the features provided by L1, including security, censorship resistance, proof, and data availability, and to simplify the logic to only serve as a sequencer and prover above the core execution layer. Vitalik believes that this approach achieves a combination of trust minimization and efficiency maximization. (Source: Mlion.ai) [MetaEra]

Vitalik Proposes L2 Construction Should Maximize Reliance on L1 Functionality

Vitalik: The best way to build L2 is to rely on the capabilities provided by L1

On July 15, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin wrote on the X platform that the best way to build a Layer 2 network is to make full use of the various features provided by Layer 1 (such as security, anti-censorship, proof mechanism, data availability, etc.), while simplifying its own logic to only serve as a sequencer and prover above the core execution layer (if the sorting function is not required, it will only serve as a prover). This model that combines minimized trust and high efficiency is exactly what the enterprise blockchain team pursued in the 2010s but never achieved. Today, with the help of the Ethereum Layer 2 network, this goal has been achieved. Moreover, we have seen many successful cases that when problems arise in the Layer 2 network, the characteristics of the Layer 1 network can protect the rights and interests of users. [PANews]

Vitalik: The best way to build Layer 2 is to make full use of the characteristics of Layer 1 and simplify its own logic

Ethereum founder Vitalik posted that "the best way to build L2 is to make more use of the capabilities provided by L1 (security, censorship resistance, zero-knowledge proofs, data availability, etc.), and simplify your own logic to only handle core execution as a sequencer and prover (if it is a based design, only a prover is needed). This model combines 'minimum trust' and 'efficiency,' which is a goal that enterprise-level blockchain teams in the 2010s pursued but never truly achieved. Now, through Ethereum's L2 solutions, this goal can be achieved. In fact, we have seen some successful cases: when problems occur in L2, the functions of L1 successfully protect the rights and interests of users." [ChainCatcher]

Vitalik: L2 should make full use of L1 capabilities, taking into account trust minimization and efficiency

Ethereum founder Vitalik posted a message stating, "The best way to build Layer 2 is to more fully leverage the capabilities provided by Layer 1 (security, censorship resistance, zero-knowledge proofs, data availability, etc.), and to simplify your own logic to serve as merely an ordering and proving layer (if it's based on a base design, a prover is all that is needed) to handle core execution." This approach combines "minimal trust" and "efficiency," which was the goal pursued by enterprise blockchain teams in the 2010s but never truly achieved. Now, through Ethereum's Layer 2 solution, this goal is within reach. In fact, we have already seen some successful cases: when Layer 2 encounters issues, Layer 1's functionality effectively safeguards user rights." [BlockBeats News]

Vitalik: L2 should fully utilize L1 capabilities, taking into account both trust minimization and efficiency

V God posted that the best way to build Layer 2 (L2) networks is to rely more on the core functions provided by Layer 1 (L1), such as security, censorship resistance, proof, and data availability, while simplifying L2's own logic to sequencers and provers (if based on OP Stack networks such as Base, only the prover role is retained). Vitalik believes that this design can minimize trust dependencies and avoid hard fork requirements, which will help build a safer and healthier L2 ecosystem. [Odaily Planet Daily News]

V God: The best way to build L2 is to rely more on L1 products

Now, with Ethereum Layer 2 networks, this goal can be achieved.

Ethereum联合创始人Vitalik在推特上表示，构建Layer 2的最佳方式是更多依赖Layer 1所提供的功能（如安全性、抗审查性、证明机制、数据可用性等），并简化Layer 2的逻辑，使其仅作为核心执行层之上的排序器和证明者（如果基于Base网络，则仅作为证明者）。Vitalik认为，这种方法能够实现信任最小化与效率最大化的结合。[Wu Blockchain]
