Starting from 2021, the NFT market has achieved explosive growth. Opeasea, a major trading platform, holds a safe lead in terms of its trading volume. However, latecomers Lookrare and X2Y2 who entered the market by listing their transaction mining service have won high returns in the short term, which have seized a certain market share. At the end of 2022, Blur listed its more user-friendly trading interface and expected airdrops, which has drawn users’ attention. It seems that the competition in the NFT trading market has just opened a new chapter.

Ethereum's scaling strategy has evolved from sharding and layer 2 protocols to a rollup-centric approach. The current roadmap proposes a division of labor between L1 and L2: L1 serves as a robust foundation layer, while L2 is responsible for ecosystem expansion. Recent achievements include EIP-4844 blobs increasing L1 data bandwidth, and multiple EVM rollups reaching stage 1. Future goals include achieving 100,000+ TPS, maintaining L1 decentralization, ensuring some L2s inherit Ethereum's core properties, and maximizing interoperability between L2s. Key research areas include data availability sampling, data compression, and cross-L2 interoperability.
