Ethereum rollups will boost network scalability, says Buterin
Ethereum co-founder believes rollups would solve the network’s congestion problems and speed up transactions on the blockchain. The Ethereum blockchain has always suffered from scalability, but Vitalik Buterin believes rollups are the solution to this problem.
Ethereum rollups will solve network scalability
Vitalik Buterin appeared on the Tim Ferris show earlier this week. In the podcast interview, the Ethereum co-founder talked about a wide range of issues regarding the Ethereum blockchain and its native cryptocurrency, Ether.During the interview, Buterin said that Ethereum rollups are the solution to the network’s congestion problems. He talked about a layer 2 solution that could increase Ethereum’s processing capacity by 100x.
“Layer 1 scaling basically says, well, let’s make the blockchain itself better. And the layer 2 scaling says, well, let’s come up with protocols that sit on top of the blockchain and that use the blockchain in more clever ways to provide the same kinds of security guarantees that a blockchain has, but that provide a much more scalability because you’re not just kind of doubly sticking like literally everything and doing everything on a blockchain directly,” Buterin said.
According to Buterin, the rollup solution creates sidechains for processing and storage. The results are then batched back onto the Ethereum main network. He added that the solution was developed by a company called Optimism, and the beta testing process should be completed in a month. Another L2 solution is StarWake.
Buterin added that by the time the Ethereum network grows, and the capacity is more than the rollup solution can provide, the blockchain’s sharding mechanism would be ready. Despite a few network upgrades coming in recent months, Vitalik didn’t disclose when the rollup solutions would be integrated into the Ethereum blockchain.
Ethereum has become integral to the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Its blockchain hosts a wide range of decentralized apps, NFTs, decentralized financial platforms, smart contracts, and more. Furthermore, several crypto tokens are hosted on the Ethereum network. Hence, its success is important to the general crypto market.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
