Recent comments from **Vitalik Buterin** have sparked debate, but the core of his message is often missed. He isn’t attacking L2s or alternative L1s—he’s challenging the **stories they tell** about their role in Ethereum’s evolving ecosystem.
📜 **The Shift:**
With Ethereum’s base layer now processing transactions more cheaply and further gas limit increases planned for 2026, the original “L2 as branded shards” narrative may no longer fit today’s technical reality.
💬 **Buterin’s Point:**
It’s not about whether L2s or alt-L1s should exist—it’s about whether their stated purpose still aligns with Ethereum’s current scaling trajectory and roadmap.
🌐 **Why This Matters:**
- Encourages honest positioning and technical innovation.
- Pushes projects to evolve beyond outdated narratives.
- Sparks necessary conversation about long-term scalability and interoperability.
