Addressing Solana’s Growth Challenges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to Mr. Yakovenko, Layer 1<\/strong> blockchains<\/a> like Solana can be faster, cheaper, and more secure without relying on Layer 2<\/a> solutions. He criticizes Layer 2 solutions for their dependency on a “slow-moving Layer 1 data availability stack<\/em>” and compromises on security with complex fraud proofs and multi-signature upgrades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the main concerns raised in response to Mr. Yakovenko’s stance is scaling a single blockchain<\/strong> as data storage requirements grow exponentially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no reason to build an L2.

L1s can be faster, cheaper, and more secure.

They aren\u2019t slowed down by a glacially moving L1 data availability stack, or have to compromise security with complex fraud proofs and upgrade multisigs.
