Ethereum's Layer 2 Dilemma
This chapter explores the current state of Ethereum in relation to its underperformance and the emergence of Layer 2 solutions. It discusses the challenges and criticisms surrounding decentralization and the implications of scaling strategies within the Ethereum ecosystem.
Ethereum's Layer 2 solutions are booming, but are they inadvertently holding back the value of ETH itself?
In this episode, Justin Bons and Ryan Berckmans engage in a heated debate over whether L2s are enhancing Ethereum's ecosystem or siphoning off its potential. They discuss the impact of L2s on decentralization, network effects, and whether Ethereum L1 can scale on its own or if the base layer and the rollups now have different incentives. Has Ethereum scaled appropriately for future usage, or was scaling via L2s the wrong roadmap for Ethereum?
