The L2 war is in full swing. Over 134 layer 2s have already been launched, but what about Ethereum, which forms the foundation? It still struggles with slow finality, exorbitant gas fees, and even faces structural limitations like the single sequencer model.
Ironically, whether there are a hundred or a thousand L2s, the core issue is that they all end up sharing the same bottleneck. The competition for scalability is fierce, yet the base layer remains unchanged? It feels like something’s not adding up. The real breakthrough might come from redesigning the base layer itself.

There are over 100 L2s, but ultimately the Ethereum bottleneck is the real issue lol. If the foundation isn't fixed, it's all meaningless.

honestly the single sequencer bottleneck is what gets me... 134 L2s all fighting for the same base layer bandwidth? that's like having 134 checkout lanes but only one cashier. the math doesn't math ngl

There are 134 L2s already, and people are still playing musical chairs? Honestly, they’re all getting stuck on Ethereum.
No matter how many L2s there are, it can’t solve the fundamental problem. The underlying layer needs to be changed.

134 L2s are still a joke. Fundamentally, ETH's base is already rotten, and they're still trying to pretend with a single sequencer?

The L2 numbers just keep increasing, but in the end, the ETH bottleneck remains a chronic problem... Isn't this honestly a ridiculous situation?

134? Isn’t it just increasing the numbers... If it’s the same bottleneck anyway, what’s the point?
