According to @VitalikButerin, the lean Ethereum team is delivering across scaling, decentralization, and resilience, and he expects long-term scaling ideas to be ready around the same time the short-term scaling roadmap reaches key milestones, directing readers to leanroadmap.org; source: Vitalik Buterin on X, Sep 6, 2025. For trading context, Ethereum.org states scaling solutions aim to increase transactions per second and reduce costs on Ethereum and Layer-2s, directly affecting throughput and fees that traders monitor; sources: Ethereum.org scaling documentation; Vitalik Buterin on X, Sep 6, 2025.

According to @Celo, key industry leaders at EthPrague 2025, including Marek (@marek_), Andrew Koller (@inkonchain), Alex Gluchowski (@gluk64, zkSync), and Jordi Baylina (@jbaylina, Polygon), discussed how Layer 2 solutions can maintain competitive advantage as Ethereum Layer 1 becomes more scalable. The panel emphasized that L2s must focus on transaction cost reduction, cross-chain interoperability, and rapid user onboarding to remain relevant. As Ethereum L1 improves throughput and lowers fees, L2s are expected to drive innovation in areas like privacy and high-frequency trading, which could impact token values and liquidity on both L1 and L2 platforms. This dynamic is crucial for traders seeking alpha in evolving ecosystems as cited by @Celo (Twitter, May 28, 2025).
