Ethereum Second-Layer Scalability Still Needs Work, Says Starkware CEO

Uri Kolodny, co-founder and CEO of blockchain firm StarkWare, told Cointelegraph that Ethereum second-layer scalability solutions still need some work.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin claimed on June 1 that the blockchain’s layer-two scaling initial deployment has “basically” succeeded. Kolodny — on the other hand — told Cointelegraph that he is not as convinced:

“I wouldn’t pop the champagne bottles just yet, as many of these proposed solutions have at this point been deployed only on Twitter, not on Ethereum Mainnet.”

Kolodny admitted that there are many promising developments when it comes to second-layer Ethereum scalability solutions. He explained that “there are several efforts around what is called Optimistic Rollups.” Still, he said that nobody really knows how well this approach could work:

“None of the Optimistic Rollups has yet to reach mainnet, so it’s still too soon to tell how they will do.“
