find myself transacting more on L2s lately and it's been so pleasant to basically forget about gas -- makes me do a double take when I'm transacting on a L1 now lol

building products /neynar, hacking /farhack, sharing thoughts /dylan | dylansteck.com

but at the same time, i wonder why optimism would encourage OP Stack rollups for L2's that have zero extra config(eg. there's virtually no change in setup between Optimism and Zora)

to me, this only adds friction for both devs and users. i think the config needs to happen at the app/protocol level instead.

Well, as I see it:
1. Having a common OP Stack standard will result in a common bridging standard, leading to seamless UI/UX. The friction must be solved, but not by nuking sharding.
2. Also different shared sequencer sets will lead to less contention, for ex, a gas war on DeFi L2 won't spill over onto a Zora mint.

These are both very valid points — I just feel like the better architecture might’ve been app-layer permissions, but either way seamless bridging between all these L2s is very necessary
