Layer 2 moves away from "the shadow" of Ethereum: A turning point for the stars to shine on their own?
Hello everyone, don't worry too much about Vitalik's statements. Here's the thing, the leaders of Layer 2 like Arbitrum or Base asserting that they "are not Ethereum" is actually a very positive signal. Instead of just being "assistants" that help expand transactions, L2s are transforming into independent platforms with their own identity and distinct goals.
The fact that Layer 1 of Ethereum is becoming cheaper and faster does not kill L2, but rather frees these networks from fee pressure. Now, L2s can focus on building unique practical applications (use cases) such as payments, social networks, or AI. That's the situation, when these projects no longer hide in the shadow of "mother" Ethereum, we will see a real race for innovation. This is the time for you to seek those "diamond in the rough" that have the potential to stand strong on their own feet. The future of L2 is not bleak, it is only becoming more professional and independent!$ETH
