Ethereum Foundation: The long-term sustainable and elegant plan is to use the magic of SNARKs to scale L1 EVM execution, essentially without limits.
With real-time L1 EVM SNARKing attesters can verify cheap SNARKs instead of naively reexecuting EVM transactions. This would allow us to increase the gas limit by orders of magnitude without burdening validators. All the heavy EVM execution would happen outside of consensus by specialised nodes operated by entities like searchers, builders, explorers. Users and consensus participants would have it easy, e.g. running their nodes on phones or watches.
Besides the vertical scaling benefits from dramatically increasing the L1 EVM gas limit, there is an opportunity for arbitrary horizontal scaling using an EVM-in-EVM precompile to cheaply verify EVM execution within the EVM. This precompile would allow developers to programmatically spin up new L1 EVM instances, unlocking a supercharged version of execution sharding where the number of shards is unbounded (rather than capped to 64 or 1024 shards) and individual shards are programmable rollups (with programmable governance, sequencing, gas) known as "native rollups".

The legal team defending Ripple Labs against a case filed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission has requested to stay the monetary portion of an Aug. 7 judgment requiring the firm to pay $125 million.
In a Sept. 4 filing in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, Ripple’s lawyers said the SEC had agreed to a request to delay payment of the judgment after Sept. 6. The legal team proposed that Ripple place 111% of the judgment amount — roughly $139 million — into a bank account until 30 days “after the time to appeal expires or the resolution of any appeal.”
