zkSync founder: “Ethereum is the only option” for institutions “Tempo is a venture by Stripe. Obviously Stripe, as a large payments processor, wants to have their own network . . . And of course, all of [these organizations] will try to get everyone else on their network. But guess what? That’s precisely the reason why it’s never going to happen.” Alex Gluchowski explains: “Yes, Stripe wants everything to happen on Tempo, but JP Morgan wants everything to happen on JP Morgan Chain. And Circle wants everything to happen on Arc. And so on and so forth. They will never agree. The large players will never agree to build on the infrastructure of another large player. This is why Ethereum is the only option — it’s the only way forward as the neutral infrastructure that everyone can agree on.” Source: The Rollup ZKsync ALEX | ZK Read our report "Why Permissionless Infrastructure Wins" below 👇

Arthur Hayes: Except for Ethereum and Solana, almost all other L1s will go to zero On November 29, on Altcoin Daily, Arthur Hayes said that, aside from Ethereum and Solana, almost all other L1s will go to zero. As major banks move into crypto and Web3, he expects them to build on Ethereum, which he sees as essential infrastructure and the main driver of ETH's next major rally.On Solana, he praised its meme-coin-driven strength and its position as the No.2 L1, but argued it still needs a new growth narrative and will struggle to outperform Ethereum in price.

Offchain CEO Steven Goldfeder on the two paths enterprises can take to launch a chain: "If you look at enterprises, a lot of them are starting with 'we want our own chain'- Circle, Stripe, Coinbase, Robinhood. And there are basically two paths, you either launch an alternative layer 1, and that's the path Stripe took, that's the path Circle took, or you launch an L2 on Ethereum, and that's the path Robinhood and Coinbase have taken." "The starting point for many of them is 'I want my own chain,' and Ethereum actually is the only environment that has an offering. They're not going to an alt layer 1 and building an alt layer 2 there. Either they're building an Ethereum layer 2, large enterprises, or they're launching their own new environment." "To me, it's clearly a win for Ethereum. Literally, Ethereum is the only layer one that even has an offering that can talk this language."

If you go back to 1990, Yahoo was running circles on Google in terms of revenue. But then Google came on the scene and ate their lunch, building a much more credibly neutral search engine. The same applies in the current state of crypto. While alternative L1s compete for revenue, Ethereum is playing the game at a higher dimension. This is why Ethereum will win:

Banks and FMIs can keep their permissioned setup and still connect to Ethereum, without giving up compliance or privacy.

Vitalik: zk Will Transform Not Only Blockchains, but the Entire Internet On January 27, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin stated at the ETH ChiangMai togETHer Tuesday event that zero-knowledge proofs (zk) offer not only privacy and scalability benefits for blockchains, but may also extend their impact to broader internet use cases. zk technology enables the verification of computation results without revealing the underlying data, providing new approaches to identity verification, algorithm transparency, and large-scale computation verification. He added that as technologies such as zk-SNARKs continue to mature, their range of applications is expected to expand significantly over the coming years. Source:

We will not be taking advice from a political activist group that has zero experience on how to build infrastructure and presents an “audit” that is based on, by their own admission, assumptions.
