AC: L2 as an app chain doesn't make sense for developers—it severely underestimates infrastructure and compliance costs.
Sonic Labs CTO Andre Cronje posted: "L2s as app chains make no sense for developers: almost no infrastructure support at deployment (e.g., stablecoins, oracles, institutional custody); no foundation or lab providing assistance; centralized architecture vulnerable to attacks; fragmented liquidity and forced reliance on bridges; lack of user and developer communities; time spent dealing with the above issues instead of focusing on apps and users; elimination of network effects; still suffer from long transaction confirmation times (some vendors unwilling to cooperate); isolated development (no collaborative teams). App chains also severely underestimate the costs of infrastructure and compliance (browsers, custody, trading platforms, oracles, bridges, toolkits, IDEs, on/off ramps, native issuance and integration, regulation, compliance). In 2024 alone, $14 million has already been spent, a significant portion being recurring costs."
