Ethereum Foundation’s near-term UX priority is interoperability
Ethereum Foundation researchers said interoperability is the top near-term UX priority, with focus on intent-based architecture, speed and unifying standards.
Ethereum Foundation researchers have highlighted that interoperability is the top near-term priority for Ethereum development.
The researchers wrote in a Friday blog post that “we see interoperability, and related projects presented in this note, as the highest leverage opportunity” within the user experience domain in the next six to 12 months. The near-term strategy focuses on intent-based architecture and general message-passing.
In other words, the focus is on allowing users to express outcomes (or “intents”) while the network handles the low-level transactions, and upgrading the crosschain “pipes” (message-passing infrastructure) so that those intents execute smoothly across layer-1 and rollups. The Ethereum Foundation states that it will optimize for specific metrics, including time-to-inclusion, confirmation/finality, layer-2 settlement, and signatures per operation.
