PANews reported on February 13 that according to The Block, Matter Labs co-founder and CEO Alex Gluchowski said that he believes that the ZKsync governance layer will begin discussing changes to the ZKsync token in the near future to add more features, such as mechanisms to increase the value of the token. Gluchowski said in the podcast: "Governance tokens are like stem cells for tokens. The governance layer can vote to upgrade token functions at any time, add more features, add more value-added mechanisms, and make everything more interesting." He added that he believes that the ZKsync community and the broader Elastic Network governance layer will start this discussion in the near future.
The supply of Ethereum has been increasing continuously since April 2024 and is now above the level at the time of the merger (Ethereum's switch to proof of stake). On this issue, Gluchowski said that he believes it is unlikely that Ethereum will return to the situation at the peak of economic activity when the chain was very congested and fees were high. But he does not think this is a bad thing. Instead, he believes that the Ethereum community needs to focus on ETH, the blockchain's native asset, as a store of value and native collateral for the emerging Ethereum economy. Gluchowski added that the Layer 2 ecosystem needs to be better coordinated to ensure that mechanisms are established to return value to Ethereum.
