Ethereum has gotten stronger: * Under $0.01 txfees on L2 * Two EVM L2s (@Optimism @arbitrum) now at stage 1 * Cross-L2 wallet UX has improved a lot (eg. no more manually switching networks), though still a long way to go * Much more powerful and mature ZK tooling making life easier for app builders * Starting to see second-generation privacy tools (eg. @0xbowio ) * Identity/reputation/credentials ecosystem much more powerful, and starting to actually be used more and more * Progress on STARKs leads to much clearer long-term security and decentralization story * Much more clarity on account abstraction roadmap * Much more clarity on block construction endgame (it seems to be down to FOCIL + APS vs multi-proposer) * Staking decentralization stable (see comparison charts below, the "PoS is more centralized than PoW" line has proven completely false) The fundamentals for Ethereum are actually crazy strong right now.

AI summary of the linked article

Ethereum's fundamentals are described as "actually crazy strong right now," with the author listing improvements across the network. Layer 2 transaction fees are now under $0.01, and Optimism and Arbitrum are both at stage 1. Other claimed gains include more mature zero-knowledge tooling, early second-generation privacy tools such as 0xbow, and clearer roadmaps for account abstraction and block construction. The post also says staking decentralization has remained stable and that the claim that proof-of-stake is more centralized than proof-of-work has proven false.
