During a recent Twitter Space hosted by Bitcoin developer Udi Wertheimer, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin suggested that Bitcoin needs to adopt scalable solutions like zero-knowledge rollups (ZK-rollups) to become more than just a payment network. ZK-rollups offer a faster and more scalable way to verify transactions without compromising user information. Buterin cited successful examples of rollups like Optimism and Arbitrum that could be considered case studies for Bitcoin. While Ethereum is experimenting with various layer-2 solutions, such as ZK-rollups and Plasma, Bitcoin's layer-2 solution, the Lightning Network, has been crucial to its scalability. Recently, Bitcoin Ordinals have gained popularity, enabling decentralized storage of digital art on the Bitcoin blockchain. Buterin praised the rise of Ordinals, believing they have brought back the builder culture to the Bitcoin ecosystem.
