Ethereum (ETH) founder Vitalik Buterin recently responded to growing criticism of the user experience of Ethereum's Layer 2 solution. He said it was important to address the challenges to further develop the platform and reiterated that the development team is working on achieving seamless cross-L2 interoperability.
His comments came after Ethereum supporters spoke out about the current limitations of Ethereum's multi-chain environment. They called it a “pain” for crypto natives and “unusable” for beginners.
Buterin said Ethereum users should not feel they have to defend the current system's shortcomings. Instead, he believes cross-L2 functionality will align with Ethereum's broader ecosystem goals in the future.
road map
Some of the key things on Buterin's to-do list include fixing chain-specific operations, enabling cross-chain payments, and improving light client functionality. This allows users to validate chains without relying on remote procedure calls (RPC).
The roadmap also notes that the ecosystem needs standardized protocols to facilitate interactions between chains. According to the roadmap, cross-chain swaps and gas payment solutions, as well as new protocols such as ERC-7683 and RIP-7755, are ways to facilitate token transfer and transaction inclusion between L2s.

It also touches on the importance of “chain-specific addresses” and payment requests, which allow users to perform cross-L2 transactions by standardizing address and payment formats and structures across the chain. Masu.
Buterin's roadmap goes even further, incorporating ideas like shared token bridges and synchronous composability. These are believed to make the L2 ecosystem more efficient and easier to use without compromising security or cost.
