Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently stated that the initial idea of using L2 as the main scaling engine for Ethereum is no longer reasonable, and he called for second-layer networks to evolve towards stronger specialization. This statement quickly prompted responses from mainstream L2 teams such as Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base.Vitalik pointed out that many L2s still rely on multi-signature bridges and have not fully inherited Ethereum's security; at the same time, with the increase in gas limits and the advancement of native Rollup solutions, the throughput capacity of the Ethereum mainnet itself is strengthening. Against this backdrop, the positioning of L2 needs to be rethought.Karl Floersch, co-founder of the Optimism Foundation, stated that he supports building a modular L2 that covers the entire decentralized spectrum, but also admitted that there are still real challenges such as long withdrawal periods, immature Stage 2 proof mechanisms, and insufficient cross-chain tools.Steven Goldfeder, co-founder of Offchain Labs, the developer of Arbitrum, emphasized that scaling remains the core value of L2. He believes that even if the Ethereum mainnet's capabilities improve, it will be difficult to replace L2's role in handling thousands of TPS during peak times, and warned that if Ethereum is unfriendly to Rollups, institutions may choose independent Layer 1s instead.Jesse Pollak, head of Base, stated that scaling Ethereum L1 is beneficial for the entire ecosystem, while agreeing that L2 cannot just be a cheaper version of Ethereum. He pointed out that Base is forming its own characteristics through application layer differentiation, account abstraction, and privacy features.Additionally, StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson hinted on social media that ZK-native L2s (such as Starknet) have, to some extent, aligned with the specialization direction proposed by Vitalik. Overall, L2 builders generally accept the trend of de-homogenization and repositioning, but there are still divergences on whether scaling remains a core mission.

According to Cointelegraph, after Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin commented that "the original vision of Layer 2 as the primary scaling engine is no longer applicable," several L2 builders responded, generally agreeing that Rollup needs to move beyond the positioning of "a cheaper Ethereum," but there are disagreements on whether scaling should still be its core role.Optimism co-founder Karl Floersch welcomed the challenge of building a modular L2 stack that supports "full-spectrum decentralization," while acknowledging that there are still major obstacles such as long withdrawal periods, second-stage proofs not being production-ready, and insufficient cross-chain application tools. He supports the native Rollup precompiled solutions emphasized by Buterin.Steven Goldfeder, co-founder of Arbitrum developer Offchain Labs, took a firmer stance, arguing that although the Rollup model has evolved, scaling remains the core value of L2. He pointed out that Arbitrum was not built as "a service of Ethereum," but because Ethereum provides a highly secure and low-cost settlement layer, making large-scale Rollups possible. He warned that if Ethereum is seen as hostile to Rollups, institutions might choose to launch independent Layer 1 chains instead of deploying on Ethereum.Base head Jesse Pollak stated that scaling Ethereum L1 is "a victory for the entire ecosystem," agreeing that L2 cannot just be "a cheaper Ethereum." He mentioned that Base is differentiating itself through applications, account abstraction, and privacy features, and is working towards decentralization in the second stage.StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson hinted that some ZK-native L2s (like Starknet) believe they already fit the specialized role described by Buterin. The entire Ethereum ecosystem is facing a roadmap adjustment: the base layer aims to enhance its capabilities, while L2 is repositioning itself as a dedicated environment serving different technical needs.

According to Arbitrum's news early this morning, Arbitrum has successfully regained control of the Arbitrum Governance (@arbitrumdao_gov) account, which can now interact securely.

According to official news, Arbitrum has announced the activation of the ArbOS Dia upgrade. The officials stated that this is a significant update to its tech stack, introducing support for the Fusaka EIP and enhancing the overall user experience.

According to CoinDesk, Robinhood's head of crypto business, Johann Kerbrat, stated that the company chose to build its Ethereum Layer-2 network on Arbitrum rather than launching an independent Layer-1, primarily to directly benefit from Ethereum's security, decentralization, and EVM ecosystem liquidity, allowing them to focus on core products like tokenized stocks.Robinhood's own L2 is currently still in the private testnet phase, with tokenized stocks already deployed on Arbitrum One, allowing for seamless migration of assets and liquidity when the new chain goes live. So far, the number of tokenized stocks at Robinhood has expanded from the initial approximately 200 to over 2000.

According to BlockSec monitoring, a suspicious transaction occurred on the Arbitrum chain involving the FutureSwapX contract, with an estimated loss of approximately $395,000.BlockSec stated that they have attempted to contact the team but have not yet received a response. It appears that the attacker stole funds through multiple changePosition operations, ultimately withdrawing USDC. Since the contract is not open source, the exact root cause still requires further investigation. Based on on-chain behavior, it is suspected that this incident may be related to unexpected fluctuations in stable balances during early position updates, which led to the release of USDC when positions were reduced or closed.

According to artemisanalytics data, in the past 24 hours, the supply of stablecoins on the Solana network increased by $903 million, ranking first in the entire network.Arbitrum and Polygon added $104 million and $76.1 million respectively, ranking second and third.

Fusion Releases Security Update: The IPOR USDC Fusion Optimizer has a vulnerability in the Arbitrum Vault. The IPOR team has been notified of a vulnerability that resulted in a loss of $336,000 USDC.The vulnerability targets a specific outdated Fusion Vault. Due to its unique configuration, this is the only vault that is susceptible to this particular attack vector. The loss accounts for less than 1% of the total funds guaranteed by Fusion. They are working with the Security Alliance to track and recover the funds. The IPOR DAO will cover the funding gap from the treasury. All affected depositors will be fully compensated.

According to CertiK monitoring, an unverified contract associated with the decentralized exchange TMX was attacked on the Arbitrum network, resulting in a loss of approximately $1.4 million.The hacker repeatedly executed the strategy of minting and staking TMX LP with USDT, exchanging USDT for USDG, unstaking, and selling more USDG, in order to drain the USDT, wrapped SOL, and WETH assets from the contract.

According to Artemis data, Ethereum's net capital inflow in 2025 reached $4.2 billion, ranking first among all public chains and demonstrating strong capital attraction. The second-ranked Hyperliquid had a net inflow of approximately $2.5 billion, followed by emerging public chains such as Sonic, WorldChain, Solana, and Starknet, with net inflows ranging from $500 million to $1.5 billion.In contrast, public chains like Arbitrum, BNB Chain, Base, and Polygon PoS experienced net capital outflows, with Arbitrum seeing the largest outflow. Unichain, Berachain, Blast, and Avalanche C-Chain also exhibited varying degrees of capital outflow.

Bitget, in collaboration with MORPHO and the Arbitrum ecosystem, has launched an upgraded on-chain yield product aimed at building a more transparent, flexible, and efficient yield strategy for users. This product is based on the Arbitrum network, breaking traditional locking constraints and providing users with an on-chain yield solution for USDT and USDC that can be subscribed to and redeemed instantly.In terms of product structure, an independent exclusive on-chain address will be automatically generated for users upon subscription to enhance asset isolation and security. After the funds are subscribed, they will be deployed in real-time to the Morpho protocol and interest will be calculated instantly according to on-chain rules. Redemption will also be executed through on-chain processes, ensuring immediate fund availability. The related gas fees will be handled uniformly by Bitget to lower the operational threshold and enhance the overall user experience.In terms of yield, the USDC product can yield up to 12% APR, while the USDT product can yield up to 11% APR. Currently, the first subscription channel has officially opened and will close on February 27, 2026, at 19:00 (UTC+8).
