Rising Layer 1 fees directly increase the cost of posting transaction data (e.g., rollups), which can be passed on to Layer 2 users.
Security Benefits:
A robust, decentralized Layer 1 strengthens the security foundation that Layer 2 solutions rely on, boosting user trust.
Incentivizes Scaling Upgrades:
High demand drives development of Layer 1 improvements like danksharding, designed to reduce data storage costs and support massive Layer 2 scalability.
As Layer 2 usage grows, more transactions are batched and settled on Layer 1, increasing data load and potentially raising gas fees during peak times.
Congestion Risk:
Despite offloading execution, Layer 1 must store transaction data, which can still cause congestion—e.g., Ethereum gas fees spiked during memecoin surges, affecting Layer 2 costs.
Enhanced Value Accrual:
Higher Layer 2 activity reinforces Layer 1’s role as a secure settlement layer, increasing demand for its native token (e.g., ETH for security and fees).
Russia will be the first to normalize cryptocurrency usage in daily life. Another ace up their sleeve. I am not happy about it. Reform at the doorstep maybe?

Russia to Prioritize Cryptocurrency Legislation in Upcoming Year
According to PANews, Anatoly Aksakov, Chairman of the Financial Markets Committee of Russia's State Duma, has announced that cryptocurrency and stablecoin regulation will be a legislative priority for Russia next year. As the country moves to regulate its crypto sector, establishing a legal framework for digital finance is deemed essential. Aksakov noted that the Russian Central Bank plans to implement comprehensive cryptocurrency regulations by 2026.
Historically, Russian regulators have opposed unrestricted cryptocurrency trading within the national economy. However, this week, they signaled a willingness to ease restrictions on crypto circulation. Currently, crypto assets and derivatives can only be traded within a highly limited "experimental legal regime" by a select group of privileged market participants, including foreign trade enterprises, financial companies, and "highly qualified" investors. Russian monetary authorities are in discussions with the Ministry of Finance to broaden investor access and regulate transactions outside the "experimental legal regime." Previously, authorities indicated that banks would be permitted to engage in digital currency-related activities and that funds could invest in crypto-based derivatives.
$RESOLV some say that it will follow the same pattern as $KGEN but there is some major resistance around 0.08 that has been repeatedly kicking it back few days now. I don't know what is actually going on and what can help it to break through the resistance but I just wanted to say what I thought.
