**misha**: This topic seems to be on everyone’s mind. 

Critique of L2s: Ethereum researcher Max Resnick criticizes Layer 2s (L2s) as parasitic to Ethereum, arguing they detract value from the Layer 1 blockchain.

vs

Role of L2s: The author defends L2s as essential for scalability, asserting they provide efficient solutions for developers and users while enhancing Layer 1's relevance.

What I didn’t know is that there is an oversaturation of L2s, with 73 currently listed and 82 in development, prompting concerns about the viability of many projects. 

OMG we’re going to have 155 L2s soon 😅

**misha**: Sorry this comment of course belongs to https://news.kiwistand.com/stories?index=0x66fdb4fdb70795fcc98229cd68e04060fef82df4f5569f1e926b8a990a422df6548f4678

(it’s getting late zzz 🌙)

**misha**: Btw these new channel changes are quite interesting topic too. 

I’m running 2 channels and I’m one of hosts of the art channel, hope this won’t be too much work. Also I’m not so sure what this will precisely solve. (spam likely?) But we trust in Dan!
