Ethereum: L1 L2 Roadmap Fragmentation Warning

Ethereum L1 upgrades still stretch across years while L2 rollups ship in quarters, @pedrouid stated on August 11 2026, calling for a joint L1-L2 roadmap after VitalikButerin refreshed his strawmap priorities.

The post flags new emphasis on privacy pools, post-quantum scaling, native rollups and AI-accelerated formal verification, yet warns these advances risk widening fragmentation without synchronized execution timelines.

With ETH price at $1873.97 sitting inside Bollinger Bands and testing lower support near $1869.6, the 4h chart shows EMA50 resistance at $1898.79 above price while MACD registers a -6.23 death cross; institutional desks note that any sustained break below the band floor would likely accelerate downside toward the EMA200 at $1846.44 before fresh ETH price prediction models regain traction amid broader crypto market crash fears and AI industry impact on protocol verification.
