According to Foresight News, a panel discussion at Devcon in Bangkok featured prominent figures such as Vitalik Buterin, Stephen Goldfeder, Ben Jones, and Jesse Pollack, who deliberated on the challenges faced by Ethereum and its rollup-centric roadmap. Vitalik Buterin highlighted the current need for customized solutions whenever users operate across multiple chains. He emphasized that the ideal Ethereum experience should be as seamless as using a credit card in Web2, where everything is connected in the background. Buterin warned that if Ethereum fails to achieve this level of user experience, it risks being outperformed by other technologies that can.
Stephen Goldfeder added that users should not be burdened by the complexity of the underlying infrastructure. He advocated for a 'unified Ethereum' that envisions seamless cross-chain transitions within the ecosystem. Buterin also stressed the importance of simplifying cross-chain asset flows. The panel collectively underscored a shared mission: to enhance user experience without compromising Ethereum's decentralized ethos. Their goal is to build an ecosystem centered around users rather than chains.
