Vitalik: The next goal of Layer 2 should be to achieve fast withdrawals through the ZK system

2025/08/07 07:08

PANews reported on August 7th that Vitalik Buterin, in a post on the X platform, expressed surprise at the fact that so many mainstream Layer-2 platforms are at the first stage of security standards. The next goal should be to achieve fast withdrawal times (less than an hour) through a ZK (also known as zero-knowledge proof) system. This is more important than the second stage. If native withdrawal times can be reduced to under an hour in the short term and to 12 seconds in the medium term, Ethereum Layer-1 will further solidify its position as the default platform for issuing assets and the economic center of the Ethereum ecosystem. To achieve this, OP proof systems must be abandoned, as they inherently require a multi-day wait for withdrawals.

Historically, zero-knowledge proof technology has been immature and expensive, making OP proofs a sensible and secure option. However, this situation is rapidly changing. Earlier this year, Vitalik proposed a "2-of-3" ZK + OP + TEE proof system strategy that strikes a balance between security, speed, and maturity.

  • 2-of-3 systems (ZK, OP) are trustless, so no single actor (including the TEE manufacturer or a side-channel attacker) can break the proof system by violating the trust assumption.
  • The 2-of-3 system (ZK, TEE) is instant, so withdrawals are fast under normal circumstances.
  • 2-of-3 systems (TEE, OP) have been in production for many years in various environments.

This is just one approach; perhaps people will choose a ZK + ZK + OP tiebreaker, or a ZK + ZK + security committee tiebreaker. I don't have a strong opinion on either; I care about the fundamental goals: speed (under normal circumstances) and security. With such a proof system, the only bottleneck for fast settlement becomes the gas cost of submitting proofs on-chain.

Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council

Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council

The post Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Michael Saylor and a group of crypto executives met in Washington, D.C. yesterday to push for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill (the BITCOIN Act), which would see the U.S. acquire up to 1M $BTC over five years. With Bitcoin being positioned yet again as a cornerstone of national monetary policy, many investors are turning their eyes to projects that lean into this narrative – altcoins, meme coins, and presales that could ride on the same wave. Read on for three of the best crypto projects that seem especially well‐suited to benefit from this macro shift:  Bitcoin Hyper, Best Wallet Token, and Remittix. These projects stand out for having a strong use case and high adoption potential, especially given the push for a U.S. Bitcoin reserve.   Why the Bitcoin Reserve Bill Matters for Crypto Markets The strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill could mark a turning point for the U.S. approach to digital assets. The proposal would see America build a long-term Bitcoin reserve by acquiring up to one million $BTC over five years. To make this happen, lawmakers are exploring creative funding methods such as revaluing old gold certificates. The plan also leans on confiscated Bitcoin already held by the government, worth an estimated $15–20B. This isn’t just a headline for policy wonks. It signals that Bitcoin is moving from the margins into the core of financial strategy. Industry figures like Michael Saylor, Senator Cynthia Lummis, and Marathon Digital’s Fred Thiel are all backing the bill. They see Bitcoin not just as an investment, but as a hedge against systemic risks. For the wider crypto market, this opens the door for projects tied to Bitcoin and the infrastructure that supports it. 1.

Why We Need More Stablecoins

Why We Need More Stablecoins

The post Why We Need More Stablecoins appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Stablecoins are the real success story in crypto. In the past six years, Stablecoins have quietly become indispensable. Since 2019, people have used stablecoins to move $264.5 trillion across 18 billion in transactions. Why? Stablecoins let you hold money onchain without having to worry about volatility, making them the easiest way to store value and transact in the crypto economy. Total market cap of stablecoins is over $280 billion Source: Defillama Why are Stablecoins popular right now? We’re seeing a rush of companies launching stablecoins in the U.S. because issuers finally gained clarity with the passing of the GENIUS Act in July 2025. For the first time, the U.S. government clearly defined who can issue stablecoins, what counts as a “payment stablecoin,” and what obligations issuers have to consumers. Since the GENIUS Act passed, MetaMask rolled out mUSD, Stripe launched a payments-focused chain called Tempo, Circle announced their purpose-built stablecoin payments L1, Arc Network, and there’s been a spree of acquisitions. Stablecoin infrastructure companies like Iron are getting snapped up, and traditional finance firms like Stripe are spending heavily to buy crypto companies (Privy and Bridge) whose products they can fold into their existing offerings. In addition, chains are launching their own stablecoins as a way to capture more revenue from the yield they generate. MegaETH has its native stablecoin, USDm. Hyperliquid launched USDH, which sparked a bidding war with Paxos, Agora, Sky, and Frax all vying to get involved. At this rate, it’s easy to imagine a world where every serious company in crypto eventually issues its own stablecoin. Which raises the obvious question: do we need more? Why we need more Stablecoins: 1. Financial inclusion: Even as the number of unbanked people falls, over 1.3 billion remain without access to banking, mostly in places with unstable currencies. Stablecoins…
