Deep dives
Growing Acceptance of Centralized Builders
There is a growing acceptance that centralized builders have an advantage due to their ability to include transactions on Layer 1, which allows them to migrate assets faster and avoid uncertainties. This acceptance is based on the belief that centralized builders, such as big players like hedge funds and exchanges, are more tech-savvy and can navigate the complexities of Layer 1 inclusion, while smaller participants may be left behind. However, this acceptance is met with criticism questioning the fairness and potential risks associated with this centralized control in the ecosystem.
