📣 Vitalik Buterin Will No Longer Mention Certain L2 Projects
posted 12 Sept 2024
On September 12, Vitalik Buterin wrote on X that starting next year, he will no longer publicly mention L2 projects that haven't reached at least Stage 1 of his rollup milestones, which he introduced in 2022.
Buterin’s milestone-based system divides rollups into three stages: Stage 0 (full training wheels), Stage 1 (limited training wheels), and Stage 2 (no training wheels).
Stage 1 requires a working fraud proof or validity proof system with real authority to approve or reject state roots validated by the rollup contract.
Buterin also advocates for a multisig-based override mechanism that requires 6 out of 8 signatures, with at least 26% of the council members being outside the rollup core team.
The era of rollups being glorified multisigs is coming to an end. The era of cryptographic trust is upon us,Vitalik Buterin stated on X.
