以太坊聯合創始人喬·盧賓（Joe Lubin）表示，第2層（L2）縮放網絡將繼續是以太坊生態系統的核心。

以太坊聯合創始人喬·盧賓（Joe Lubin）在數字資產峰會上討論了智能合同網絡的未來，並說第2層（L2）縮放網絡將繼續對以太坊生態系統至關重要。

The co-founder of Ethereum, Joe Lubin, has discussed the future of the smart contract network at the Digital Asset Summit, where he highlighted the importance of layer-2 (L2) scaling networks to the ecosystem.

以太坊的聯合創始人喬·盧賓（Joe Lubin）在數字資產峰會上討論了智能合約網絡的未來，在那裡他強調了第2層（L2）縮放網絡對生態系統的重要性。

In an exclusive interview with Cointelegraph’s Turner Wright at the Summit, Lubin explained how applications will require next-generation databases powered by high-throughput blockchain technologies. He added that these new applications are being developed on scaling networks like StarkNet and Optimism, which can process thousands of transactions per second.

Lubin在峰會上對Cointelegraph的Turner Wright的獨家採訪中解釋了應用程序將如何需要由高通量區塊鏈技術提供支持的下一代數據庫。他補充說，這些新應用程序是在諸如Starknet和樂觀之類的縮放網絡上開發的，這些應用程序每秒可以處理數千筆交易。

“Another great application, or great layer 2, that’s emerging soon is called MegaETH,” Lubin continued.

盧賓繼續說：“另一個很棒的應用程序或第2層很快被稱為Megaeth。”

The Ethereum co-founder went on to say that although newer layer-1 chains are being built, they will likely struggle to compete with Ethereum, which already features robust architecture and security guarantees. This is especially true given that developers and users are already familiar with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), which serves as the core programming environment for the majority of Web3 dapps.

以太坊的聯合創始人繼續說，儘管正在建造更新的第1層連鎖店，但他們可能會很難與以太坊競爭，以太坊已經具有強大的建築和安全保證。考慮到開發人員和用戶已經熟悉以太坊虛擬機（EVM），這是尤其如此，這是大多數Web3 DAPP的核心編程環境。

Investors have doubts about layer-2 approach

投資者對2層方法有疑問

According to L2Beat, there are currently over 140 unique scaling solutions for Ethereum, including 60 rollup networks.

根據L2BEAT的說法，目前有140多個以太坊的獨特縮放解決方案，包括60個滾動網絡。

However, investors have come to view these layer-2 networks as parasitic elements that drain the layer-1 network of revenues while contributing minimal economic value to the base layer.

但是，投資者已經將這些第2層網絡視為寄生元素，這些寄生元素耗盡了1層收入網絡，同時為基礎層貢獻了最小的經濟價值。

After the Dencun upgrade in March 2024, Ethereum's average gas fee dropped by 95%, which dramatically lowered transaction fees for layer-2 networks. This reduction in transaction fees caused a 99% collapse in revenue on the Ethereum base layer by September 2024.

在2024年3月的Dencun升級後，以太坊的平均天然氣費下降了95％，這大大降低了第2層網絡的交易費用。到2024年9月，這種減少交易費用導致以太坊基層的收入崩潰了99％。

Since that time, the price of Ether (ETH) has generally been in decline, plummeting to a recent low of approximately $1,759 on March 11 and leading many analysts to predict a further price decline in 2025.

從那時起，Ether（ETH）的價格通常一直在下降，最近3月11日下降到最近的1,759美元，並帶領許多分析師預測2025年的價格下降。

Data from Farside Investors shows outflows from Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have continued for 11 consecutive days amid a broader downturn in the crypto markets.

Farside Investors的數據顯示，在加密貨幣市場的衰退中，來自以太交易​​所交易基金（ETF）的流出持續了11天。

The most significant day of outflows occurred on March 13, when investors pulled a collective $73.6 million from ETH ETFs as they dumped risk-on assets for less volatile alternatives such as cash, government securities and dollar-pegged stablecoins.

最重要的一天的外流發生在3月13日，當時投資者從ETH ETF中撤出了7,360萬美元，因為他們以較少波動的替代品（例如現金，政府證券和美元固定型stablecoins）傾倒風險資產。
