Buterin also recommended adding multi-signature authorization capabilities to all Web3 wallets. This would require multiple signers to authorize transactions, boosting security across the Web3 ecosystem.
Furthermore, he also addressed the need for better integration between Ethereum's Layer-2 (L2) scaling solutions, such as Arbitrum
With over $50 billion locked in Layer-2 networks, according to L2Beat data, facilitating seamless token transfers across these networks has become a priority.
Buterin’s call for improved privacy and security is just one step toward a more decentralized and user-friendly Ethereum ecosystem. One such example is Buildernet, a new initiative tackling the issue of censorship head-on. How is Buildernet leading the charge? Read the full story.
