# EthereumL2StrategyReassessment

93
Vitalik Buterin emphasizes that new chains must offer genuine innovation beyond copying EVM. True L2 advancement requires privacy, efficiency, or low latency features, not just marketing claims of Ethereum connectivity.
🚨 HUGE: “We don’t need more copypasta EVM chains, and we definitely don’t need even more L1s,” says Vitalik Buterin.What’s your take?

#OvernightV-ShapedMoveinCrypto The Great Ethereum Realignment of 2026
1. From Scaling Helpers to "Parasitic Bloodsuckers"
The original promise of Rollups was to pay "rent" to the Ethereum mainnet in the form of gas fees for data availability. However, as you noted, the implementation of EIP-4844 (Proto-Danksharding) and the rise of alternative Data Availability (DA) layers meant that L2s could scale without significantly benefiting ETH holders.
The Growth Trap: High TPS on L2s no longer triggers the "burn" mechanism of EIP-1559 on the mainnet.
Liquidity Fragmentation: Instead of a unified ocea

Vitalik: New EVM chains should innovate and genuinely rely on Ethereum, avoiding blind copying
Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin pointed out that many newly built EVM chains are simply copies with a lack of innovation. He recommends that new chains should feature new characteristics such as privacy protection and application-specific efficiency, rather than just superficial connections to Ethereum. New projects need to achieve genuine innovation and practical functionality to ensure ecosystem interoperability and long-term value.

Vitalik: The new EVM chain should be innovative and genuinely rely on Ethereum, avoiding blind copying.
Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin pointed out that many new EVM chains simply copy existing architectures without innovation, leading to ecosystem stagnation. He emphasized that new chains should have unique features such as privacy protection and efficiency, and ensure that the nominal Ethereum connection aligns with actual functionality to promote ecosystem interoperability and long-term development.

Wu Shuo learned that Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin posted a message reaffirming his views on L2, criticizing the practice of simply copying EVM chains and connecting to Ethereum via optimistic bridges, believing this is like forking Compound governance, which stifles imagination due to over-comfort. He emphasized that there is no need for more EVM chains or L1s, as Ethereum L1 is scaling and will provide ample block space. Vitalik called for building truly innovative solutions, such as privacy, application-specific efficiency, or ultra-low latency, and that the project's public image should
