Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated on X platform that, "I think we need to supplement protocol associations/guilds with 'infrastructure associations' (referring to a decentralized protocol open for transferring assets between various L2s). This may cover: high-level languages, cross-L2 token bridging protocols, ZK-EVM, light clients, portal networks, and scaling. Anything that is not tokenized, operatorized, or governed is not 'part of L1,' but has value for the entire ecosystem. Setting these things as standards for public goods within the ecosystem, rather than individual company products - though individual companies should definitely be welcome to participate, and even take the lead, as in Linux - infrastructure associations will act as sponsors and legitimizers for the entire ecosystem. It's good not to legitimize individual solutions, but I do want to legitimize the category of 'tokenless/governanceless/operatorless' infrastructure, and make it clear that things in this category are superior to 'infrastructure' that is centralized or token-governed."
