Hello everyone, I am sour tamarind.
everyone is discussing:
'which L2 will become Ethereum's second layer?'
I think this question itself is wrong.
the future will not be 'L2 → ETH'.
the future will be:
'ETH → Layer Next (next layer narrative)'.
Linea is not 'Layer 2',
it's 'the entry point to the next layer Ethereum experience'.
① What Ethereum needs in the next phase is not performance, but 'experience unification'
The problem with the ETH ecosystem is not:
not fast enough
not cheap enough
but rather:
user experience fragmentation + developer experience not unified.
bridges are not unified
Tools are not unified
On-chain experiences are not unified
Error messages are not unified
Ecological experiences are not unified
Governance is not unified
Deployment processes are not unified
Line's route is:
"Reunify all of this."
② The core of Layer Next is to make the user experience of ETH like a 'single platform'
Your feeling on ETH is:
Like using 10 operating systems.
Each one is different.
The goal of Layer Next is:
No matter which L2 you are on, it feels like using Ethereum.
Linea is building:
Unified tools
Unified model
Unified bridge
Unified experience
Unified governance flow
Unified scalability logic
This is the ecological framework of the next generation of ETH.
③ Layer Next is a continuation of the 'Ethereum sustainable development route'
Ethereum itself will not change direction.
But the ecosystem needs to upgrade.
Layer Next is:
ETH's experience
→ Expansion
ETH's stability
→ Continuation
ETH's governability
→ Positioning
The spirit of ETH
→ Amplification
Linea completely aligns with this point,
It is not a deviation from the route, but a complementary route.
④ The future ETH ecosystem will be divided into two types of chains
1) Performance-oriented L2
Pursue TPS / Pursue speed / Pursue incentives
2) Experiential L2 (Layer Next)
Pursue governance / Pursue ecological structure / Pursue stability / Pursue unified toolchain
Linea obviously belongs to the second type,
and the second type is what ETH needs in the long term.
⑤ Layer Next is the ultimate destination of the ETH ecosystem
Experience:
Chain explosion
Narrative explosion
Performance battle
EVM competition
TPS competition
Airdrop battle
Ultimately, it will lead to:
Layer Next model of unified experience + unified governance + unified tools.
Linea stands at the entrance of this future.
Do you think the future of ETH is more like Layer2, Layer3, or Layer Next?
