Ethereum is scalable already. Layer 2 solutions like https://zksync.io/ and https://loopring.org/#/ are already live and allow 2000 transactions per second. This is based on ZK-rollups and provides the same level of security as the base layer. This technology can be used for trades or transfers. Another exciting technology that is coming this year is optimistic rollups, which will provide the same level of scalability for arbitrary smart contracts. |

"WARNING: zkSync v1.0 is in alpha. Blockchains and zero-knowledge proofs are still experimental technologies with rapidly evolving attack vectors. zkSync relies on cutting-edge cryptography that has never been used in production before. While Matter Labs is rigorously following scientific and engineering best practices with regard to security, we can not provide 100% fault-free guarantee. Use zkSync at your own risk and do not put more money into it than you can afford to lose."
That doesn't sound like 'scalable already', it sounds more like be prepared to lose your money.
Further, on the ZK-Rollups website, we have:
"The initial set up of ZK-Rollups promotes a centralized scheme The security scheme assumes a level of unverifiable trust
The initial setup of ZK-Rollups is assumed to be a trusted state, when this trust cannot be proven. A small group of developers will be subject matter experts on the initial trusted state. This undermines decentralization and opens the risk of social engineering hacking attacks by convincing a developer to manipulate code or provide vulnerability information."
This is not reliable scalable technology. It's centralised so it takes all the supposed advantages of blockchains away, at which point you are better off just using a single trusted database, instead of thousands of machines duplicating the same work.
