This article discusses the Ethereum "Merge" and explores the areas for improvement in the technical design of Proof of Stake, as well as the potential ways to achieve these improvements.

Ethereum's scaling strategy has evolved from sharding and layer 2 protocols to a rollup-centric approach. The current roadmap proposes a division of labor between L1 and L2: L1 serves as a robust foundation layer, while L2 is responsible for ecosystem expansion. Recent achievements include EIP-4844 blobs increasing L1 data bandwidth, and multiple EVM rollups reaching stage 1. Future goals include achieving 100,000+ TPS, maintaining L1 decentralization, ensuring some L2s inherit Ethereum's core properties, and maximizing interoperability between L2s. Key research areas include data availability sampling, data compression, and cross-L2 interoperability.

This article explores the economic value and role of cross-chain bridges in blockchain ecosystems. Likened to internet routers, these bridges efficiently route capital between different blockchain networks, optimizing transaction efficiency. They generate economic value through transaction fees, relay fees, and liquidity provider returns. Unlike traditional routers, cross-chain bridges have a unique profit model reflecting blockchain technology's nature. As the market matures, these bridges increasingly influence cross-chain capital transfers.
