According to @alice_und_bob, Layer 2 (L2) teams can address common scaling and security challenges—such as the need for zk proofs, fraud proofs, 7-day exit windows, and alternative data availability bridges—by utilizing Polkadot core technology instead of more complex or resource-intensive solutions. This highlights Polkadot’s (DOT) potential as a scalable, cost-effective platform for developers, which could increase demand for DOT and impact its price performance in the crypto market.

According to Vitalik Buterin, there is potential to reduce asynchronous messaging times from two weeks to ten minutes, and eventually to one slot, leveraging recent advancements in zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs and aggregation. This development could significantly enhance transaction efficiency in blockchain networks, which is crucial for traders seeking faster and more reliable transaction processing. Accurate and timely async messaging can reduce latency issues, making trading operations more efficient (source: Vitalik Buterin on Twitter).
