We previously explored three new concepts - chain IPs, verifiable addressing and blockspace locality. Let’s go deeper and explore what kind of hypothetical world these two ideas can enable from a builder and user POV.
The World Computer and the Future of Internet Infrastructure
Ethereum is the world computer. It will become a critical backbone of public internet infrastructure. The decentralized internet will mirror the internet with Ethereum serving as the core root of trust.
The fundamental limits of L1 and L2 scaling are different as well as their respective design spaces. Until very recently, most teams have spent their time primarily focused on pushing the boundaries of L1 scaling. Now, teams like MegaEth are exploring the boundaries of what’s possible past L1 scaling boundaries. Rollups are the final frontier of blockchain scaling. They combine the performance of traditional servers while inheriting blockchain properties from their base layer.
