On March 24, Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of Solana, spoke out on the X platform about the debate related to Layer 2 (L2) development. He affirmed that it is not necessary to develop L2, as Layer 1 (L1) can completely achieve faster performance, lower costs, and higher security.
Yakovenko emphasized that L1 is not limited by slow data provision systems and does not need to rely on complex fraud verification mechanisms or multi-party signatures. This helps maintain security without compromising network performance or reliability.
Solana has long been known for its robust scalability due to its optimized architecture, delivering superior transaction processing speeds without the need for Layer 2 solutions. Yakovenko's statements continue to reinforce the view that Solana is pursuing a development strategy focused on direct upgrades to Layer 1 rather than relying on additional expansion solutions.
