This is actually happening, potentially before ~2031 that I expected at the time (though still years away). ~Infinite chains, ~infinite composability, ~infinite scalability, all verified on your phone with a single infinitely recursive ZKP - this remains the only way to global scale
Of course, in 2025, this is not the bottleneck, this was going to happen anyway. The real focus must be on stimulating demand - Ethereum L2s are barely saturating 3 blobs for 15+ months, and for 3+ years the industry at large is severely oversupplying blockspace, and the gap is ever widening. Building an infinite ocean is useless if you have a swimming pool's water to fill it with. But hey, I've beaten that dead horse for 2-3 years, no one (or very few) cared.

For my personal use, crypto is in a great place. Fees, speeds, wallet UX, applications are perfectly fine for my usecases, and they'll keep getting better. However, I'd like to see some things significantly improved, in order of importance:
- CRITICAL: Configurable withdrawal rate limiting in Safe & smart wallets and indeed, in all smart contracts, should be a standard. Without this, I significantly limit my usage of crypto
- Custodial standards for smart wallets
- Stage 2+ decentralisation for L2s, complete overhaul for Tron (normies receive USDT on Tron)
- EUR stables w/ liquidity
- Better frontends & standards
- More competition & options for minimal hardware wallets
- Range order management for Uniswap V4
- Significantly less volatile, reliable, long-term sustainable and high liquidity SoVs (BTC and ETH are far too erratic)
- Integration into widely adopted payment networks, both global and domestic
- Some inaccessible assets tokenised as RWAs
- Farcaster with bustling non-crypto content/discussions 44 replies

I haven't commented about rollups in several months, if not over a year, so I'm just a casual observer now...
Native rollups are pretty cool, and what I meant by "enshrined zkEVM bridge" a couple of years ago (except they've got a wider scope than zkEVMs)
However, they are not "enshrined rollups", as I wrote about them at least, which are in-protocol, L1 rollups
Overarching thought on rollups: there simply has not been anywhere enough demand to saturate 1,000+ chains by 2025 like I had expected in 2021. Including all L1s and L2s, there's maybe like 10, at most. I'm sure demand will grow, but not to the magnitude anyone expected. It would be prudent to factor in this lower terminal demand in infrastructure designs, instead of just "build it they'll come" hopium.
