TechFlow News, ThreeDAO researcher Jason Chen discussed the issue of "Layer2 fragmenting Ethereum's functionality and thereby weakening Ethereum" in a tweet. He emphasized that Ethereum's goal is to become the base layer chain, enabling a "passive earning" model through Layer2. After splitting, the gas fees paid by Layer2 are distributed into four parts: Layer2 execution fees, Layer1 security fees (further split into base fees and miner fees, with the base fee being burned to achieve Ethereum deflation). Regardless of how Layer2s compete with each other, they must pay security fees to Ethereum as required.
Different Layer2s have different ecosystem positions. Some choose to migrate Ethereum-based products onto Layer2 (these Layer2s need to maintain good relations with Ethereum and possess strong technical capabilities), while others need innovation to attract users.
In addition, Jason Chen added that the best Layer2s are those that do not issue tokens; Layer2s that issue tokens but continue using ETH to pay for gas are also acceptable.
