Intro
This chapter explores blockchain scaling, focusing on sharding as a strategy to improve Layer 1 scalability. It discusses the trade-offs of centralization, the impact of transaction fees, and highlights recent advancements in Layer 2 solutions.
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?
