Vitalik Buterin emphasizes the importance of enhancing Ethereum’s bandwidth over minimizing latency; layer 2 will be crucial for long-term development

Vitalik Buterin advocates for enhancing bandwidth as a priority for Ethereum’s security and reliability over low latency. This approach will better support the network’s long-term scalability.

Using innovations like PeerDAS and zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) can boost Ethereum’s performance significantly while maintaining decentralization. He suggests a target latency of 2 to 4 seconds for most applications.
