PANews reported on February 19 that the Ethereum Foundation (EF) announced the formation of the Ethereum Platform team, which aims to enable L1 and L2 to better support users, applications, and all organizations built on Ethereum.

Since the rollup-centric development roadmap was first proposed five years ago, the Ethereum L1 ecosystem has grown richer, resulting in multiple differentiated L2 chains with unique economic models. The new team will focus on providing a unified platform that fully leverages the unique capabilities of the Ethereum system (L1 + L2), including enhancing the value proposition of L2, driving widespread adoption of L2, and synergizing value between L2 and Ethereum.

The Platform team will assess the successes and shortcomings of Ethereum as a whole system, proactively evaluate necessary improvements, and focus on the challenges in building a robust system. The team's priorities include protocol development, technical integration with developers and institutions, and overall strategy tracking to ensure a robust feedback mechanism between L1 and L2.
