1. Solana co-founder Yakovenko questions the sustainability of Ethereum L2
LianGuai reported that Anatoly Yakovenko, one of the co-founders of Solana, expressed concerns about the long-term sustainability of Layer 2 solutions currently integrated into the Ethereum ecosystem. Yakovenko stated that these solutions have not been built to scale due to high gas fees, making it difficult for dApps to operate efficiently. He further stated that although Layer-2 scaling solutions like Polygon and Arbitrum have recently gained significant attention, they are still not sustainable in the long run.
