Vitalik Buterin’s latest article states that L2 is an extension of Ethereum’s culture. Ethereum is an ecosystem centered around L2, where independent and unique subsystems can be freely built. These subsystems are also part of the larger Ethereum ecosystem.
In the article, Vitalik Buterin expresses, “Ethereum is an ongoing experiment, and one of the reasons the ecosystem excites me is because it is willing to tackle challenges head-on. Many challenges stem from misaligned incentives, and a natural way to address this is by creating better cooperative incentives within the ecosystem. One idea is to create an ‘infrastructure guild’ to complement the protocol guild, which is one option. Another option is to explicitly subsidize multiple L2 projects that collaborate (similar to a second-layer financing, but with a focus on connecting the ecosystem rather than individuals). It is valuable to explore these ideas and continue to leverage Ethereum’s unique advantages as a diverse ecosystem.”
