The best way to build an L2 is to lean into the L1's offerings (security, censorship resistance, proofs, data avail...) more, and reduce your logic to just being a sequencer and a prover (if based, just a prover) over the core execution. This is the combination of trust
Unironically, I think most alt-L1s will become L2s
@Celo showed the playbook: – Halved inflation from 2% to 1% – Reduced block times from 5s to 1s – Eliminated 300k+ lines of legacy code – Fully integrated into Ethereum’s ecosystem, the largest dev community in crypto – Carbon x.com/hubkotl/status…📈 Market Reaction:

Vitalik's latest musings on L2 design elicited all the excitement of a lukewarm cup of decaf: ETH barely budged, proving once again that even Ethereum's philosopher-king can't always move markets. Price changes were negligible: a fleeting +0.05 (0.00%) spike at 1 minute, followed by microscopic dips of -0.49 (-0.02%) at 5 minutes and -0.54 (-0.02%) at 10 minutes. For context, this is less volatile than a stablecoin convention—historical posts with similar themes saw slightly sharper but still yawn-inducing moves, like June's -0.08% drop. The real irony? The market reacted more to Vitalik's silence than his words. Perhaps traders were too busy debating L1 vs. L2 dogma to remember they’re supposed to panic-buy or sell.
