Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has clarified the status of Ethereum 3.0, stating that there is currently no such project in existence. In a text-based AMA held on the Tako platform, Buterin emphasized that the top priority for Ethereum is to strengthen its mainnet.

Buterin explained that while some might consider Justin Drake's 5-year plan as Ethereum 3.0, it only focuses on the consensus layer and not the execution layer. He presented an alternative roadmap, which includes:

  • Strengthening L1's capabilities
  • Improving cross-L2 interoperability, enhancing blobs, and so on

Buterin also addressed the issue of transaction fees between L1 and L2, noting that the narrative can quickly change and that it is essential to strengthen L1 to ensure that what should happen on L1 can happen on L1. He also emphasized the importance of maintaining the adaptability of the Ethereum community.

In the context of Ethereum's recent developments, this clarification from Buterin underscores the project's focus on improving its mainnet and enhancing its capabilities. As Ethereum continues to evolve, investors and developers alike will be watching closely to see how these improvements play out in the coming months and years.
