Letterbug

L2s are not cheaper or faster by default, but those who optimize for performance are. it’s not just for the user but also much cheaper to run. there’s a big push to scale blobs, which is reducing the cost for those on ethereum DA. the cherry picked location is just wrong, the benchmark posted in the thread runs in your browser from your location. L1s are slower. since L2s use preconfirmations by default, for everyone using the chain, of course they are used in the benchmark. there’s nothing stopping solana and other L1s from doing this. saying it’s available to researchers is just not relevant for users. the modularity of L2s allows devs to use the DA and tech they decide, so yes it is infinitely scalable. if they would all use ethereum DA, there’s a limit, but again blobs are being scaled so there is enough for all demand.
