- Focus on Mature L2 Projects
- Criteria for Discussing Projects

Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin has declared his intention to concentrate on more mature Layer 2 (L2) projects starting next year.
Focus on Mature L2 Projects
In an X post on September 12, Vitalik Buterin stated that he would only discuss L2 projects on public platforms if they have reached at least Stage 1 in their development. He did, however, note that he might make exceptions for particularly innovative or interesting projects, allowing for a 'brief grace period.'
Criteria for Discussing Projects
Buterin elaborated on his criteria for discussing L2 projects in blog posts and/or interviews. He stressed that the project must have reached Stage 1, regardless of his personal investments or connections. Reaching Stage 1, he explained, is a significant milestone indicating substantial progress.
Expectations for ZK Rollups
Buterin also shared his excitement about several ZK Rollups that are on track to reach Stage 1 by the end of 2024.
Vitalik Buterin's announcement to focus on mature Layer 2 projects highlights his commitment to enhancing the security and reliability of the Ethereum ecosystem.
