Odaily News In response to Emmanuel Awosika's comment that "Ethereum in 2024 is like a scientific laboratory experiment, lacking an overall plan", Vitalik Buterin replied: "I think the challenge is more subtle. We have a very solid consensus on the direction of L1 development. What we lack is a similar common understanding of infrastructure beyond the L1 ecosystem. If you look back at the examples you gave, you will find that 75% of them are not based on L1, which is a higher-level ecosystem construction and standardization challenge. 'Enshrined bridging', 'rollup decentralized technology', 'multi provers'... do not have L1 characteristics. It is not enough to have a roadmap, we also need resources to execute it. ERC-7683 is a good step forward, and Waku is also a good step forward, but we need more than 10 similar innovations, and a coherent blueprint to know what is missing, who is building them, and ensure that they have the resources and motivation to do these things." Earlier, Uniswap Labs announced on the X platform that it would work with Across Protocol A new cross-chain intent standard ERC-7683 is proposed to establish a unified framework for specifying cross-chain operations based on intent. It is reported that the standard allows the implementation of a standard API for cross-chain transaction execution systems. The standard provides a common CrossChainOrder structure and a standard ISettlementContract smart contract interface.
