network\u2019s L1 gas limit<\/u><\/a>, emphasizing its importance even as L2 solutions gain prominence.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal aims to enhance security and censorship resistance while enabling simpler application development on the network.<\/p>\n<p>Buterin highlights concerns about potential censorship on L2s due to their centralized sequencers, arguing that a more scalable L1 would provide crucial force-inclusion mechanisms for users to bypass L2 censorship during network congestion.<\/p>\n<p>A key focus of the scaling proposal addresses cross-L2 asset transfers, particularly for NFTs and less common assets.<\/p>\n<p>The enhanced L1 capacity would serve as a safety mechanism for users in cases of L2 failure or hostile governance changes, allowing for mass exit events without prohibitive gas fees.<\/p>\n<p>The scaling initiative also targets improved efficiency for ERC20 token launches on L1, which could mitigate risks associated with hostile governance upgrades on individual L2s.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the proposal aims to simplify keystore wallet operations and facilitate their distribution across L2 networks.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"
