Foresight News reported that Vitalik posted, "For about the past day and a half, I have been following everyone's reactions to my comments about L2. We don't need more copy-paste EVM chains, nor do we need more Alt L1s. What we need are products that can bring entirely new experiences. I gave some examples: privacy protection, application-specific efficiency, ultra-low latency, but my list is certainly far from complete.

Personally, I really like many things that can be called 'application chains.'" "Another extreme of 'application chains' would be, for example, convincing a government agency, social media platform, or gaming platform to deploy a Merkle root in its database and use STARK proofs to verify that every update is authorized, signed, and executed on-chain according to a predetermined algorithm. In my view, in terms of 'institutional-grade secondary security,' this is the most meaningful."
