Scroll co-founder Ye Zhang pointed out in an article on X platform that taxing Ethereum Layer 2 is a major cancer for the future development of Ethereum. This short-sighted behavior sacrifices long-term scalability and ecosystem growth in exchange for short-term income, which is the approach of centralized enterprises and the choice of non neutral platforms. Measuring the value of ETH solely based on Ethereum revenue is a reversal of priorities. The true value of ETH lies in its becoming the core of thousands of rollup ecosystems, which is the future path forward. Solana takes a vertical integration route, and although SOL dominates its system, it has strict control and limited scalability. ETH has emerged on platforms such as Base, Arbitrarum, Optimism, zkSync, Scroll, and remains the main trading pair for DEX even on non gas token chains. More rollups mean higher adoption of ETH, and ETH as a store of value (SoV) will gain more trust and usage. Each Layer 2 aligned with Ethereum is expanding its territory and enhancing social consensus, with thousands of scalable rollups centered around ETH having much greater potential than any monolithic chain. Ethereum does not require extraction, but should empower: 1. Accelerate deployment, expand data block size by 1000 times, and enhance execution layer scalability; 2. Make Ethereum's Data Availability (DA) more attractive, providing added value beyond security such as interoperability, shared components, and liquidity bridging; 3. Empower more participants who align with the Ethereum philosophy. The victory of ETH lies in becoming a center of gravity, not a toll station
