Ethereum Founder Vitalik Buterin Put Two New Altcoins on His Radar, Showered Praise!

A new move came from Ethereum (ETH) co-founder Vitalik Buterin, who positively affected the market and the price of the relevant altcoin with his shares and statements.

Sharing this time about the popular Ethereum-based altcoins Arbitrum (ARB) and Optimism (OP), Buterin said that ARB and OP have reached stage 1 decentralization.

In a recent X post, Vitalik Buterin praised Ethereum-based layer-2 projects Arbitrum and Optimism.

Stating that ARB and OP are the first full EVM rollups to reach stage 1, Buterin said that Arbitrum and Optimism deserve praise for their success.

Buterin uses stage 1 to describe networks that are advanced in terms of security and scalability but have not yet reached full decentralization.

Vitalik stated that he expects ARB and OP to be joined by one of the first ZK-EVM rollup altcoins.

ARB and OP increased by 12.8% and 17.4% respectively in the last 24 hours.
