TechFlow news — Andre Cronje, board member of the Fantom Foundation, said on X that investors and enterprises both love centralization. Decentralization doesn't make money and is too difficult to manage. We'll see many decentralized applications (DApps) become Layer 2s (L2), and eventually, when they grow tired of managing these networks, they will decentralize again and revert back to Layer 1s (L1). Similarly, many Layer 1 networks will become Layer 2s because running a centralized sequencer is much easier than dealing with annoying consensus mechanisms—until they need "decentralization" again, at which point they'll revert back to being Layer 1s.
Let this fragmentation continue. Although this contradicts every technical principle I've ever learned, I believe in this game, the ultimate winner will be the monolithic, all-in-one solution.
