Solana Co-Founder Challenges Layer 2s—Are They Even Needed?

The co-founder of a popular cryptocurrency took a swipe at Layer-2 cryptos, claiming that these rollups are only redundant and make blockchain scaling more complicated.

Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of the Solana network, argued that Layer-1 solutions are sufficient without Layer-2 tokens which do not offer genuine, long-term benefits.

“There is no reason to build an L2,” Yakovenko said in a post, which is the Solana co-founder’s response to @ripdoteth, who claimed that there is no reason to build a Layer-1.

The crypto co-founder argued that Layer-1 solutions, like the Solana network, can already offer efficient, cheap, and secure scaling solutions. Hence, he said that Layer-2 tokens are only providing redundancy.
