Platform is a brand new group contained in the EF with one purpose:
Ship the strongest attainable Ethereum platform, the place L1 and L2s are greatest positioned to assist customers, apps, and all organizations constructing on Ethereum. This requires enhancing the L1 L2 relationship, in order that we develop as a mutually reinforcing system throughout every layer.
For the reason that rollup-centric roadmap was first proposed 5 years in the past, an ecosystem of chains has grown up across the Ethereum L1. The early psychological mannequin of rollups has given solution to a community of differentiated L2s, every with distinct and priceless economies, extending Ethereum’s core properties to thousands and thousands of customers.
As Ethereum matures, we should do extra to ship a cohesive platform that absolutely leverages the distinctive capabilities of Ethereum as a system (L1 + L2s). This consists of enhancing the worth proposition of being an L2, tightening the flywheel in order that L2 adoption drives worth to Ethereum extra broadly, guiding the ecosystem towards safer and permissionless architectures, and making it simpler to navigate for customers and establishments adopting Ethereum. Importantly, a part of delivering a powerful Ethereum means pushing in the direction of technological enhancements that reinforce and amplify the core properties most important to and uniquely enabled by Ethereum.
The Platform group will consider and acknowledge each the successes and shortcomings of Ethereum as a system. We must be reside gamers, evaluating obligatory enhancements, whereas additionally being conscious of the tensions that exist on the trail to constructing mounted methods that stand the take a look at of time.
How this comes collectively in Platform
Protocol improvement
Product-led R&D to enhance the energy of the ecosystem as a wholeFunnel ecosystem wants into protocol roadmap and fork planningEnsure protocol upgrades translate into real-world adoption and utilization
Protocol integration
Proactive engagement with builders and establishments to supply steering on protocol, roadmap, and technical integrations
Technique and monitoring
Guarantee optimistic suggestions loops throughout L1 + L2 strategyMetrics to trace community healthImprove Ethereum ecosystem legibility throughout public dashboards
What this supplies to Ethereum
Clear, shared understanding of L1 and L2 rolesA protocol and community that greatest leverages the strengths of every layerL2 adoption reinforces Ethereum’s core properties and ETH, and L1 progress supplies a extra highly effective basis for L2sClear and compelling pathways for organizations and establishments to undertake Ethereum
We’re excited to get Platform off the bottom and speed up many key initiatives along with the broader group. Keep tuned for updates and extra data.
