ChainCatcher news, ZKsync founder and Matter Labs CEO Alex Gluchowski stated that Ethereum, as the "world computer," still has a clear product-market fit, and its true moat lies in the network itself rather than downstream applications. Gluchowski emphasized that Ethereum is the foundation of the value internet, and its trusted neutrality stems from mathematics, open-source code, and thorough decentralization. He pointed out that if Ethereum can maintain its status as the world computer, the value of global transaction infrastructure and payment systems will flow directly or indirectly to ETH. At the same time, he believes that the value internet will not operate solely on a single chain; the future of Ethereum lies in becoming a secure foundational layer for a vast decentralized blockchain network, but this vision can only be realized if Ethereum fully leverages its core advantages.Meanwhile, the ZKsync team stated that they have been preparing for this transition and will make a significant announcement in the next two weeks.
