The Ethereum Foundation has released a statement detailing its vision for the future of Layer 1 (L1) and Layer 2 (L2) ecosystems. According to PANews, the foundation emphasizes that as the ecosystem evolves, the primary goal of Layer 2 has shifted from merely scaling Ethereum to offering differentiated functionalities, customized services, innovation, and decentralized control. Ethereum's Layer 1 will continue to serve as a permissionless, resilient global settlement layer, shared state layer, and DeFi liquidity hub, while achieving significant scalability through zero-knowledge technology. Layer 2 is expected to focus on strategies that complement Layer 1, developing its own ecosystem through differentiated positioning and extending Ethereum's core attributes to a broader user base
