The Ethereum Foundation has launched the Platform team to enhance collaboration between Ethereum's Layer 1 (L1) and Layer 2 (L2) systems. This initiative aims to support users, applications, and organizations built on Ethereum by creating a unified platform that leverages the unique capabilities of both L1 and L2. The team will focus on protocol development, technical integration, and strategic alignment to improve the overall Ethereum ecosystem. The Platform team will evaluate the successes and challenges of Ethereum's infrastructure, aiming to enhance the value proposition of L2s and drive broader adoption. By addressing these areas, the team seeks to ensure effective feedback mechanisms between L1 and L2, fostering a more robust and cohesive Ethereum network.
