The imposition of definitions on Ethereum Layer 2 solutions says.

Yi Chang, co -founder of the smart contract platform in Taba 2, has criticized sharp proposals to impose fees on Ethereum Layer 2 solutions.

In a series of tweets on X, EXC “Tarriffing Layer 2S” called “one of the most toxic ideas” for the Blockchain future.

Oh Chang, they oppose L2 fees

Chang Argue Such a move would trade long -term expansion and the growth of the ecosystem to obtain short -term revenues, a strategy that is believed to be more suitable for central companies than ETHEREUM.

He went on to highlight that the real ETHEREUM power does not lie in extracting revenues through protocol fees, but in the possibility of working as a major asset through an increasing number of grades.

With ethereum already a dominant power in ecosystems such as expression, optimism, and zksync, Zhang suggested that more rolling would lead to more adoption of ETH, and expanding its role as a value store. He warned that imposing fees on layer 2 could push developers away and leave Ethereum with limited expansion and importance in the long run.

“ETHEREUM does not need to be extracted – it needs to be empowered. Charging faster, the size of the 1000x points more, execute the scale to some extent. Make Ethereum Da attractive, provides greater value of safety (interconnection, other common ingredients, liquidity bridges). Empowering more alignment players.”

The value of leakage concerns

While Zhang claimed that Ethereum should focus on enabling the expansion of the second layer on the fees for imposing fees, the broader economic image represents an increasing challenge. With the transmission of implementation outside the chain, the basic ethereum network witnessed a sharp decrease in the revenues of the fees, which in turn sparked concerns about the leakage of value.

As mentioned before CryptopotatoThe generation of fees from ETHEREUM fell from about $ 30 million in March 2024 to only $ 500,000 per year, as the second layer networks such as definition, optimism and base captured most of the economic benefits. This shift also affected the ETH rate, which increased the net version and increased inflation to 0.79 %.
