Vitalik elaborates on the long-term goals: to achieve 12-second native asynchronous communication between L2 and L1, intent-based operations, and to strengthen the coupling between L2 and L1.

Foresight News reported live from the third Web3 Scholar Summit held in Hong Kong, where Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin elaborated on long-term goals, including achieving 12-second native asynchronous communication between L2 and L1; users can still perform various operations through intention mode (such as obtaining latency below 12 seconds or better cost), but liquidity costs will become extremely low; significantly strengthening the coupling between L2 and L1, promoting more applications to deploy components on both layers simultaneously.
