Recently, discussions about Ethereum solving the blockchain trilemma have reignited. The core idea is that the solutions have already been implemented in code on the chain, rather than remaining in the white paper stage.

What does this mean specifically? Ethereum currently employs a combination of PoS consensus, sharding technology, and Layer2 scaling solutions, aiming to simultaneously satisfy decentralization, security, and scalability. In simple terms, it’s about enhancing transaction processing capacity through a combination of technical stacks while ensuring network security and decentralization.

What impact might this have on the ecosystem? On the surface, if the technology operates stably, it will attract more developers and institutions to participate. The richness of ETH ecosystem applications could further increase, which is beneficial for the long-term development of the entire ecosystem. Meanwhile, other public chains like SOL, AVAX, and DOT are also advancing their own scaling and optimization plans, and competition will remain fierce.

However, there are a few points to watch out for. First, technological implementation and perfection are two different things; real-world stress testing of the network is still ongoing. Second, such positive news is often partially priced in before official announcements, so short-term price movements may not meet expectations. Lastly, don’t forget that other public chains are also iterating rapidly, such as SOL’s Layer1 optimization directions and cross-chain collaborations within the Cosmos ecosystem.

Overall, technological progress is a positive signal, but there is always a gap between technological achievement and market expectations. This industry is never short of "solved" promises; the real test lies in long-term stable operation and organic ecosystem growth.
