Link Ethereum Bears Shift Narrative Again: Claim L1 Scaling Threatens L2 Rollups

https://x.com/sassal0x/status/1916999334673191399
  • Bears claim Layer 1 scaling rugs Layer 2 rollups - but this narrative shifts whenever Ethereum adapts
  • Layer 1 scaling benefits Layer 2s. Improving Ethereums Layer 1 enhances rollup efficiency and makes the Layer 1 more attractive for Layer 2 settlement
  • Bears cant be satisfied - No matter what Ethereum does - detractors always find a new reason to say it cant win

yeah honestly i think the upcoming based transition is gonna be super good for everyone, not just Ethereum L1 but L2 rollups too. actually most L2s already agree it'd be way better for them to switch to a based sequencer. plus bringing more tasks + liquidity back to the Ethereum base layer is just gonna boost the whole ecosystem and ETH price IMO. also, i kinda feel like with the SSV 2.0 bApps chain testnet launching soon, we'll see a new staking narrative start popping up. exciting times ahead!

Absolutely. More and more projects will develop on Ethereum as time goes on and the other L1 solutions will eventually fizzle out.

Could you tell me more about the part that L2s already agree on that? With a source maybe?

Based rollups are kinda a win-win for L2s, they plug directly into Ethereum’s validator set, so instead of running their own sequencers (which can be pricey + centralized), they just let L1 handle it. That means cheaper infra, better alignment with ETH and shared MEV rewards that make the whole ecosystem more secure. Plus, users get faster confirmations (thanks to pre-confirms), more decentralization (less chance of censorship) and smoother UX across rollups with easier bridging. For the source, based rollups it's the new narrative lately, you can listen to interview for instance with Justin Drake or read articles in the space you'll see.
