Martin Köppelmann, co-founder of Gnosis, has proposed that Ethereum should have native rollups—a vision aimed at addressing scalability and decentralization.Köppelmann critiques the current state of layer 2 solutions, highlighting their limitations in fully inheriting Ethereum’s security and composability. He proposes a bold alternative: 128 Ethereum-native rollups designed to expand block space, strengthen alignment with Ethereum’s core principles, and ensure long-term viability for developers and users.Plus, Martin tackles the controversies: Are L2s parasitic? Could native rollups spell the end for existing solutions? And why should they rely on zero-knowledge proofs instead of Optimism?Show highlights:Whether the Ethereum scaling roadmap is accomplishing its goalsWhy based rollups are not a full solution, according to MartinWhat Martin proposes insteadWhy Martin is proposing these rollups to be ZK-rollups instead of optimisticWhether the proposed solution would focus on privacyWhat it is about chain abstraction that Martin doesn’t likeHow he envisions that these native rollups will solve many composability issues across L2sWhether the community has embraced this proposal and how likely it is to be implementedWhat would happen to current L2s if native rollups get implementedWhy despite being against the current state of L2s, Martin says that they are not parasitic to EthereumVisit our website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.comThank you to our sponsors!PolkadotRobinhood & ArbitrumiYieldGuest:Martin Köppelmann, Co-founder and CEO of GnosisLinksPrevious coverage of Unchained on Ethereum layer 2s:ETH Is Down Bad, While Layer 2s Are Ripping.
