Title: Layer 2 full
decentralization milestones
Introduction: 

Several teams behind layer-2 rollups, including Linea, zkSync, Arbitrum, and Optimism, have expressed confidence that full decentralization of Ethereum layer 2s will be achieved in the next few years. These teams shared their insights with Cointelegraph in June, highlighting that while progress has been slow due to prioritizing user experience and security enhancements, significant strides are now being made toward decentralization.

The term “Stage 2 decentralization” refers to the final phase in Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin’s roadmap for layer-2 decentralization milestones. Achieving this stage would make censorship nearly impossible on these networks, which aim to scale Ethereum by handling transactions on separate networks.

Exciting to see the progress on layer 2 decentralization milestones! Achieving Stage 2 decentralization would be a significant step towards making these networks truly censorship-resistant and scalable for Ethereum.
