The Ethereum Foundation has announced the creation of a new 'Platform' team aimed at optimizing the relationship between Layer 1 (L1) and Layer 2 (L2) systems. The team's work will focus on protocol development, integrating ecosystem needs into the roadmap, and providing technical integration guidance for builders and institutions. Additionally, the team will track network health metrics and enhance data presentation on public dashboards. The initiative seeks to clarify the roles of L1 and L2, maximize their respective advantages, and strengthen Ethereum's core attributes and ETH value through L2 adoption, offering a clear path for organizational and institutional use of Ethereum.
