Fragmentation and Composability
- Ethereum's fragmentation problem hinders composability, isolating Layer 2s.
- Shared sequencing and synchronous composability are crucial solutions.
Necessity of Layer 2s
- Layer 2s accelerate Ethereum's development by enabling permissionless deployment and innovation.
- Synchronous composability is key to regaining a unified, interconnected ecosystem.
Synchronous Composability's Advantage
- Synchronous composability offers a significant advantage, similar to Solana's UX, but without its compromises.
- It enables a more unified, efficient ecosystem.
