According to Odaily, Ethereum researcher Justin Drake has introduced a new rollup design called 'native rollups' on the ethresearch forum. This design relies on Ethereum L1 validators for proof, focusing on state transition functions and verification. Unlike Optimism Rollup and zk-Rollup, which offload computational tasks to L2 and use fraud or zk-proof systems to generate state roots and proofs, native rollups aim to simplify the process.
Traditional rollup systems often face issues due to complex proof systems that are prone to errors and vulnerabilities, leading to centralized rollup sequencers. Concerns over sequencer centralization have prompted designs like Taiko's 'based' rollups, which also depend on Ethereum L1 validators for sequencing.
Drake's proposal suggests introducing 'execution' precompiles, hardcoded functions in the EVM, to verify user transaction state transitions. Native rollups offer two significant advancements: eliminating the need for costly miner prover networks and specialized GPU hardware, as L1 validators will handle proofs; and removing the necessity for complex governance structures, such as trusted security councils, to approve contract upgrades for EVM equivalence.
By inheriting Ethereum L1's security, native rollups become 'trustless.' Additionally, like based rollups, native rollups benefit from 'synchronous composability' without being constrained by the 12-second block time. Thanks to 'execution' precompiles, L1 validators only need to verify zk proofs without performing the computations themselves.#Ethereum #Rollup #NativeRollups #JustinDrake #L1Validators #StateTransitionFunctions #Verification #Trustless #Composability #EVM #Blockchain #Decentralization #ETH
🚀 Vitalik Buterin Discusses Ethereum's Long-Term Goals And Expansion Strategy

According to BlockBeats, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently published a blog post reaffirming that Ethereum's primary goal remains unchanged since its inception: to build a global, censorship-resistant, and permissionless blockchain. Over the past decade, Ethereum has developed both technologically and socially, now offering valuable services on a large scale.
Buterin emphasized the need to continue enhancing Ethereum's technological and social attributes, as well as its practical utility. He highlighted a specific area of focus that is crucial for Ethereum users in the short and medium term: Ethereum's scaling strategy.
Currently, Layer 2 (L2) solutions face two main challenges: scalability and heterogeneity. One potential shortcut for scaling is to abandon L2 and perform all operations on Layer 1 (L1) by significantly increasing the gas limit, which could be achieved through multiple shards or a single shard. However, this approach would compromise many of Ethereum's current social structure advantages, which are effective in fostering diverse research, development, and ecosystem-building cultures. Therefore, Buterin advocates for sticking to the original plan of primarily expanding through L2, ensuring that L2 solutions fulfill their intended promises.
Native rollups are still in the early stages of development, requiring substantial active thought, particularly on how to maximize the flexibility of native rollup precompiles.
Buterin concluded by stating that now is the time to double down on efforts. There are still many areas that require active thinking and brainstorming, and the future of Ethereum depends on the active participation of everyone involved.#VitalikButerin #Ethereum #Blockchain #ScalingStrategy #Layer2 #CensorshipResistant #Technology #Ecosystem #NativeRollups #Development #GasLimit #ETH
🚀 Vitalik Buterin Expresses Support for Native Rollups

According to ChainCatcher, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has expressed a growing preference for native rollups compared to the past. Buterin reflected on his previous opposition to native rollups, which stemmed from the necessity to choose between ZK mode or Optimistic mode for precompilation. At that time, ZK-EVM was not fully developed, and Layer 2 solutions often opted for the latter, which relied on Ethereum's security but required a 2-7 day withdrawal period. This choice weakened Ethereum's composability and led to the popularity of multisig bridges.
Buterin noted that the situation is evolving, with Ethereum's timeline for fully adopting ZK at the L1 level aligning with the progress of introducing native rollup precompilation. This alignment is expected to eliminate the core obstacles previously faced. He also mentioned that the community is increasingly viewing 'synchronous composability' as a core value of Layer 2 and is exploring the combination of rollup-based solutions with low-latency pre-confirmation mechanisms.
Furthermore, Buterin emphasized that the implementation of native rollup precompilation should not be rushed. He proposed a future scenario where developers building rollups with 'EVM plus minor extensions' could directly reuse the EVM portion of native rollup precompilation. They would only need to introduce custom proof systems for new features, connecting the two through standardized methods.#VitalikButerin #Ethereum #NativeRollups #ZKEVM #Layer2 #Precompilation #RollupSolutions #SynchronousComposability #Blockchain #MultisigBridges #LowLatency #ETH
