Vitalik Buterin Criticizes 'Based' Rollups Idea
The function of based rollups in Ethereum's scaling roadmap is a topic of debate among Vitalik Buterin and other Ethereum community members. Security, interoperability and scalability are the three main problems that rollups are supposed to address simultaneously
The Ethereum ecosystem is clearly at a turning point when examining the larger picture and a price chart provided below. Let's examine the ongoing discussion surrounding the rollup model and its relationship to Ethereum's price patterns. The function of based rollups in Ethereum's scaling roadmap is a topic of debate among Vitalik Buterin and other Ethereum community members. Security, interoperability and scalability are the three main problems that rollups are supposed to address simultaneously. The previous overly ambitious Ethereum 2.0 specifications, which experienced delays and rewrites, are reminiscent of this all-in-one approach.
Critics argue for modularity, which treats interoperability and security as distinct problems rather than combining them. Standardizing interoperability protocols like Cosmos has done with its IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication) protocol is an alternate approach. App chains were able to remain independent and communicate easily because Cosmos refrained from imposing them onto a single shared security model. By concentrating on protocols that enable layer-2 rollups to validate messages and proofs across chains without centralizing security too soon, Ethereum can learn from this strategy.
