Justin Bons of Cybercapital Criticizes L2s as ‘Parasitic’ to Ethereum
Justin Bons, founder and CIO of Cybercapital, has criticized the impact of Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) solutions on the main Ethereum chain.
Bons argues that the rise of L2s has led to the fragmentation of the Ethereum ecosystem, increased inflation, and underutilization of the main chain. He believes that the focus on scaling with L2s rather than improving the main chain has created isolated liquidity pools and raised concerns about decentralization and security. Bons contends that scaling Ethereum at this point would undermine the value accumulated by L2 projects and negatively impact users.
He condemns the shift towards L2s as a centralization of decision-making and a platform for venture capitalists to profit at the expense of Ethereum’s core principles.
