Sounds pretty fucking amazing if this means more people can get to work

Making a high-throughput L1 to reduce gas cost is a bit like making a road wider to reduce traffic In reality, the wider road makes more people think ”oh I can take my car to work now instead of commuting!” => traffic re-clogs => it takes exactly as long to get to work as before twitter.com/KyleSamani/sta…

Responding to in-depth technical infrastructure points with "ridiculous maxi cope" is an ADA community special. Don't be like ADA community. Actually try to refute his points.

You're attacking a strawman He didn't say widening the road is bad He said widening the road is a futile solution because of induced demand will fill the road with congestion anyway The only solution is modular blockchains, with L2s settling on the safest consensus layer

If this is true, why are there 12 lane highways? Why not make everything single lane dirt roads? Allowing more people to get to places on time has a noble social purpose, and increase demand following does not negate that purpose or value

I guess he’d argue that having more clean air is bad as it would make people breath more thus exhaling more CO2, thus needing more clean air… Some people will forever emphasise & focus on the tiny “maybe” issues vs huge working solutions. Ignore & let them cry. 🙃

I think you're missing his point, which is Solana's tradeoff of less decentralization doesn't bring value, because they'll need to go to rollups anyway.

So, if you inherently *must* break composability at the base-layer, what’s the advantage of sacrificing decentralization at the base-layer for high-throughput?
