Ethereum CEO Stańczak optimistic: Blockchain as a world computer!
At the largest Ethereum conference on June 30, 2025, Tomasz Stańczak, the new co-head of the Ethereum Foundation, spoke about the crucial role of blockchain adoption in today's world. Stańczak expressed optimism about the tokenization of real-world assets on Ethereum, highlighting that the smart contract platform has the potential to act as a “world computer” in a future dominated by artificial intelligence. He also emphasized that the relationship between Layer 1 and Layer 2 is not problematic, despite increasing competition from established systems such as Base and Arbitrum.
Stańczak, a Polish software engineer and entrepreneur, has been responsible for the strategic direction of the Ethereum Foundation together with Hsiao‑Wei Wang since March 2025. His focus is on scaling and talent development. He founded the Ethereum execution client Nethermind and the staking service Twinstake, is a core member of Flashbots and serves on the board of the StarkNet Foundation. The ETH price is stable around the $2,500 mark and has increased by over 1.1 percent in the last 24 hours.
Layer 2 technologies in focus
Layer 2 (L2) solutions are playing an increasingly important role in the Ethereum economy. These chains inherit the security of Ethereum (L1) and are designed to increase the scalability of the platform. Since the introduction of Layer 2 technologies in 2021, based on years of research, developers have created new ways to optimize the user experience.
However, it should be noted that many Layer 2 projects are still young and experimental. In an ideal world, L2 chains will reach the security level of L1 Ethereum, which is not yet fully guaranteed. Users are therefore encouraged to conduct their own research and weigh the risks of different L2 solutions. We recommend the L2BEAT platform, which offers detailed information on technologies, risks and trust assumptions in the area of layer 2 chains.
With this background knowledge, it is clear that the Ethereum community is facing an exciting phase under the new leadership of Stańczak. Continued support for Layer 2 technologies could not only improve Ethereum's usability but also solidify its position in the global digital asset market.
