it feels like vitalik is saying that undifferentiated L2s are competing with ethereum🚨
the issue is that there is an entire industry of these undifferentiated L2s that raised a lot of money, and there's no easy way for them to become differentiated 🧐
People are freaking out thinking the L2 roadmap got dismantled 👀
It didn't 🧐
It evolved, literally !
The old roadmap ↔️⬇️
L2s were branded shards aka mini-Ethereum but cheap. Aka “your job is to scale and that’s it ”
But! L2s did amazing things, they outcompeted, they spread what’s possible, they made people believe and actually USE this thing ⚡️
The new roadmap: L2s are specialized chains that inherit Ethereum's security ⚡️
The goal is now to be the best at somETHing 🧐
Privacy ⬇️
Gaming ⚡️
DeFi ↩️
Speed ⚡️
AI ⬇️
Social ⬇️
Institutional ⬇️
Whatever your USERS need ⬇️
The politics, the “acknowledgment” does not matter, the proof is much realer (literally) 🤔⬇️
This IS NOT Ethereum stepping back from L2s
ITS L2s stepping Forward ⬇️
Stage 1 = minimum if you're handling ETH 🤔
Beyond that? 🤔
Differentiate ⚡️
Get weird ⚡️
Build what only YOU can build ⚡️
by the way the native rollup exists and is a REAL effort ! ⚡️
AKA ZK verification built into the protocol itself 🤔
This is literally Ethereum investing deeper in L2s, not walking away 🤔
The roadmap DID NOT get dismantled
It got upgraded ⚡️
IT GOT FREER
IT GOT MORE REAL ⚡️
WE HAVE A JOB TO DO ⚡️
and the job is to bring this to the world

If you're building on an L2 right now, nothing changed except your ceiling
