Vitalik Buterin Discusses Economic Disparities Between L1 And L2

According to Odaily, Vitalik Buterin recently shared his thoughts on the X platform regarding the current economic disparities between Layer 1 (L1) and Layer 2 (L2) solutions. Buterin highlighted that a year ago, the discussion centered around L1 extracting rent from L2, but the situation has now reversed. He emphasized the importance of avoiding a mixed economy where tax rates could jump from 5% to 95%. Buterin suggested that if the economic design ensures that both L1 and L2 fees remain reliably above zero, with low variance in their ratios, it would lead to greater satisfaction among users. Buterin stressed the need to maintain an ecosystem where the Ethereum community feels united, encompassing technical interoperability, shared values, and economic aspects. He pointed out that proposals like EIP-7762, Base Rolls, and other forms of fee sharing are valuable starting points for achieving this goal. The aim is to create a cohesive environment where all participants feel they are part of the same team, contributing to the overall success and sustainability of the Ethereum network.
