The author argues that L2s fragment liquidity but drive progress rather than harm the ecosystem, and that the space should pursue collaboration over toxic rivalry. The post notes that a recent debate on L2s versus network extensions turned toxic and led to a backlash against Solana and the term "network extensions." It proposes a shared messaging protocol among L2s, collaborative developer education such as joint hackathons, and joint research efforts, comparing blockchains to competing banks that still talk to each other. It also cites Vitalik's essay on the value of cultural differences within the Ethereum ecosystem.

I was thinking about ways to connect L2s, and it's a tricky one. Some of the chains have already formed alliances (like Superchain), but there will always be some projects that want to stay independent or just don't want to accept the OP Stack's deal.

I think the only way it could work is for EF to propose a solution in the Ethereum protocol so it works on a 'federal level,' not on a 'state level,' following your USA analogy.
