Vitalik: The association of the previously mentioned decentralized protocol needs to be supplemented by the "infrastructure association"

On May 21st, Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, said on the X platform, I think we need to supplement the protocol association/guild with "infrastructure association" (referring to its previous proposal of an open, decentralized protocol for transferring assets between various L2s). This may cover: high-level language, cross-L2 token bridge protocol, ZK-EVM, light client side, portal network, and extensions. Anything that has no tokens, no operators, no governance, is not "part of L1", but has the value of the entire ecosystem. Setting the standard for these things is an ecosystem-wide public good, not the product of individual companies - although like Linux, individual companies should definitely be welcome to participate, even take the initiative. Infrastructure associations will act as funders and legitimizers of the entire ecosystem. It's good not to legitimize individual solutions. But I do want to legitimize the category of "tokenless/governance-free/operator-free" infrastructure and make it clear that things in this category are better than centralized or token-governed "infrastructure".
