The Ethereum and Solana blockchain ecosystems are seeing significant advancements in Layer 2 (L2) solutions, which are designed to enhance scalability and functionality. Ethereum is experiencing increased adoption of corporate L2s, leading to an expansion of blob space and demonstrating the effectiveness of its scaling roadmap. Meanwhile, Solana is focusing on sovereign blockspace through L2 solutions, maintaining composability between Layer 1 (L1) and L2. Based rollups, a novel L2 functionality, are gaining attention for their potential to offer unique capabilities that traditional L2s cannot provide. These developments highlight the evolving landscape of blockchain scalability and the innovative approaches being adopted to address it. Solana Maxis can support based rollups, which help maintain composability between L1 and L2.
Solana Maxis can get behind based rollups. The biggest argument against Solana L2s is breaking the ‘global state’ With based rollups, composability between L1 and L2 can be maintained. With this unlock, all of Solana can press the gas on L2 scalability https://t.co/mD44B1WHJh
the longer you can remain focused on scaling the L1 without offloading things offchain — the more things are built on that L1 and the greater the effect of composability and hence economic value this also applies to L2s offloading to L3s (and why I think it's a mistake)
the purpose of an L2 on Solana should generally be for sovereign blockspace — not scalability I think this is a fair use case because I'm not convinced that most things need atomic composability that being said, it's super important that we push L1 scaling to its limits
