Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, recently praised Optimism for its significant efforts toward standardizing asset transfers across the Ethereum ecosystem. Buterin expressed his support on X (formerly Twitter), highlighting Optimism’s work on “REMOTESTATICCALL” and their backing of the standardization initiative. His comments came after Optimism announced the extension of Superchain Interop across the whole Ethereum ecosystem.
This development corresponds to a previous post by Across, an interoperability protocol on Ethereum; its focus is on Optimism and the integration of the fast-transferring ERC-7683 in the Superchain. In each of the views, they regarded the ERC-7683 cross-chain intent standardization as a significant step towards a more integrated Ethereum system. The interoperability protocol expects that this standard will solve the problem of fragmentation inside the Ethereum network.

Standardization marks a crucial step towards a more unified Ethereum ecosystem.
Across predicts that these advancements will accelerate Ethereum’s adoption by enabling rapid USDC and ETH transfers. They elaborated that Optimism’s update will build upon Across’s existing pre-existing intents-based bridging architecture in Superbridge and Bridgg for increased L2 speed in the Superchain.

Moreover, Across highlighted that it’s native interoperability and intents-based systems will synergize within the Superchain ecosystem. It will minimize user risks and give a better and more precise understanding of user experience (UX). The innovation is supposed to extend compatibility across the Ethereum network, which should cut filler costs by as much as tenfold.
Significantly, Across confirmed that intents-based systems and ERC-7683 are essential for solving multi-chain fragmentation. These systems will allow true blockchain interoperability and help unify Ethereum, which aligns with Buterin’s vision for Ethereum in the long run. Buterin is also known to have pointed out that there is a need to get a handle on chain-specific addresses and, more recently, the chain-specific ENS and the light clients that were developed per the ERC-3668.
Conclusion
Buterin’s endorsement of Optimism’s initiatives signals a crucial step towards achieving a more seamless and integrated Ethereum ecosystem. It is finally due to the initiatives of Optimism and Across that standardization and interoperability should increasingly be expected to significantly contribute to the future success and development of Ethereum and this ecosystem.
