tldr: L2s are just L1 apps with their own execution features and policies (decentralization, scaling, ordering, security, liquidity, etc.) most L2s will build along 2 axis: -> scaling -> feature differentiation of course vanilla general purpose chains will still be able to attract liquidity and volume, but it will be harder to maintain their stickiness i think @megaeth and @risechain are killing it at the scaling game but i believe what we're building with @StatusL2 is the first deeply intentional L2 with a fresh attempt at showcasing what L2s can actually do: -> fully gasless (using ZKPs for rate limiting) -> with shared native yield (bridged yield from the L1 + native app fees) -> and composable privacy (unlocking private DeFi interactions on EVM) all that directly governed by the community based on their reputation: higher reputation -> higher gas-free transaction throughput -> higher governance power over native yield allocation L1 is for security L2s are for scaling and experimentation always have been.
