The Importance of Scaling Single-Execution Environments

Scaling single-execution environments is seen as a crucial necessity in the long run. This includes improving liquidity, user experience, development, and reducing complexity. While there are debates on the best approaches, it is acknowledged that innovation is needed in virtual machines (VMs) for Layer 2 (L2) solutions and rollups.
