Few realize what's actually unfolding as Ethereum mainnet expands its capacity. As scaling accelerates, it doesn't just move transactions around—it fundamentally reshapes incentives and creates space for entirely new ecosystems to take root.

What's crucial is how these emerging networks get built. They need market infrastructure that mirrors Mainnet's design, infrastructure that users genuinely own. Not controlled, not extracted from—owned. This alignment between the chain's core values and the rails that power its economy becomes the real differentiator.

Nah, that's the key. We need to truly empower users with the right to speak, or it'll just be the same old game.

Nah, basically it's about wanting to return power to the users—that's the main point, right?

It sounds good, but what about reality? Most L2s are still being exploited by a few big capital players, and truly decentralized infrastructure is scarce.

That's a good point, but the key still depends on whether true decentralization can be achieved... Currently, these new chains are just talking about it, but in reality, it's still the same old story...
