Polygon Labs CEO: Layer3 is worse than Layer2!

Polygon Labs CEO Marc Boiron tweeted today on the X platform that Layer 3 is worse than Layer 2 and gave multiple detailed reasons.

MarcBoiron: L3 is worse than L2

Marc Boiron gave 7 reasons why Layer3 is worse than Layer2. The reasons are as follows:

• ##Layer3 and Layer2 can customize content, Polygon CDK can provide support

• Native gas tokens can be used on both Layer3 and Layer2, Polygon CDK can provide support

• The interoperability of Layer2 is enough to cover Layer1 and Layer3. There is no need to rely on Layer3. AggLayer can provide support.

• Only needs to have an other link connected to AggLayer to enter the exchange. , you can directly access Layer2 from any exchange, which is more flexible than Layer3 that is limited to a single Layer2, and AggLayer+Polygon PoS can provide support.

• In terms of cost-effectiveness, Layer2 can amortize transaction costs among many Layers2 or even Layer3, and AggLayer can provide support

• Independence On the other hand, as Layer 2, you can not only maintain sovereignty, but also have the above-mentioned benefits. However, Layer 3 will be restricted by Layer 2.

• Layer2 can return to Ethereum frequently and quickly, but Layer3 still needs to go through Layer2 to return to Ethereum.

Note: AggLayer is an aggregation layer solution launched by Polygon Labs, allowing developers to connect blockchains to support unified liquidity and ensure cross-modularization and monolithic chains ( Unified security including chains in the Polygon ecosystem). Polygon CDK is a development framework launched by Polygon that allows teams to quickly build Layer 2 networks based on zero-knowledge proof.

In addition, Marc Boiron also explained why some people would try to build Layer3 on Layer2 because they lack zero-knowledge technology for secure interoperability between Layer2, so they need to use the marketing topic of Layer3 to make up for it.

However, Marc Boiron also remains open to building Layer 3. Although he believes that Layer 3 is not necessary, the encryption world is free.

Suspected of criticizing the new features launched by OP

On the other hand, Optimism, the Ethereum Layer 2 expansion plan, tweeted in the early morning of today (9th) that Layer 3 built using the open source software tool OP Stack is now You can join the Super chain ecosystem. In addition, in order to support Layer 3 developers, OP Stack launched "Custom Gas Token" and "Plasma Mode".

According to the timeline, Marc Boiron’s remarks may be a criticism of Optimism’s support for Layer 3 developers. However, as Marc Boiron said, the encryption world is free, and it remains to be seen whether Layer 3 can become the mainstream narrative in the future.
