Recently, there has been a debate on the effectiveness of Layer 3 (L3) solutions for the Ethereum ecosystem. Vitalik Buterin shared a link to an article he wrote in September 2022, where he discussed that L3 networks are not primarily for scaling but for implementing custom features for Layer 2. These protocols, built on top of existing Layer 2 solutions, aim to enhance the functionality and scalability of the main blockchain. Polygon Labs CEO, Marc Boiron, expressed that L3 networks are unnecessary for scaling Ethereum and may jeopardize the security of the blockchain. The conversation around the role of Layer 3 networks commenced with remarks made by developer Potuz in support of such solutions.
