The Ethereum co-founder said it was “stage 1 or bust” for his acceptance of a layer-2 project’s decentralization progress.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has reiterated his stance on layer-2 decentralization, stating that he only plans to acknowledge scaling solutions at “stage 1” of his decentralization scale.
In a Sept. 12 X post, Buterin said that he takes this “seriously” and that, starting next year, he only plans to publicly mention layer-2 networks that are “stage 1+”.
He added that there “may be a short grace period for new genuinely interesting projects.”
