Ethereum: “understudies” are no longer needed—they’ll have to find a new job
Imagine you have one busy road with constant traffic jams. About five years ago, someone came up with a solution: build a bunch of bypass roads alongside it—L2s. The idea was to take the pressure off the main highway. Each “bypass” was called something like a branch of Ethereum, with its own logo.
But reality had other plans:
The main road unexpectedly expanded. Ethereum became faster than anyone expected.
The bypasses turned out to be less reliable. Many are still controlled by a small group of people, rather than by the community.
Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin said something along these lines: “Guys, the old model doesn’t work anymore. Being just a cheap copy isn’t enough. If you want to survive, figure out what makes you special.”
What this means for L2s:
Become truly decentralized, or people won’t trust you.
Find your own niche: privacy, identity verification, lightning-fast speed.
In other words, L2s aren’t being buried—they’re being sent back for a retake. The era of “just a cheap copy” is ending, and the era of “so, what can you do?” is beginning.
