The Ethereum Foundation released an article outlining a framework for the coordinated development of L1 and L2, emphasizing that L2 should transition to providing differentiated functions and service layers, while L1 focuses on global settlement and DeFi hub. The article recommends that L2 reach security standards and advance integration, while stressing that the mutually beneficial relationship between the two is core to the development of the Ethereum ecosystem.

Deep Tide TechFlow News, March 24 — According to the Ethereum Foundation’s official website, on March 23, the Ethereum Foundation Platform team leaders Josh Rudolf, Julian Ma, and Josh Stark jointly published a statement outlining the collaborative development framework for L1 and L2.

The article states that the core positioning of L2 has shifted from an early “scaling tool” to a “layer providing differentiated features and customized services,” while L1 should focus on becoming a permissionless, highly resilient global settlement, shared state, liquidity, and DeFi hub.

Regarding recommendations for L2, the article requires L2 to meet at least Stage 1 security standards and pass the “exit test.” L2 aiming for the closest integration with L1 should advance to Stage 2 and achieve synchronized composability and native rollup mechanisms.

The Ethereum Foundation mentioned that it will continue to promote L1 scaling and Blob extension, increasing throughput without sacrificing decentralization; simultaneously investing in R&D to support native rollup technology implementation, and collaborating with L2Beat to enhance transparency and verifiability of L2 security features. The article emphasizes that the mutually beneficial relationship between L1 and L2 is the core premise for the sustainable development of the Ethereum ecosystem.
