Ethereum

Reasonable point by Anatoly, but of course that's what Ethereum's L2-centric approach is about:

Any user should be able to frequently and trustlessly (!) use L2s. Trustless means it must be affordable to run an L1 full node and L2 lightclients.

Ethereum protocol R&D. Admirer of emergent order.

Now, realistically most Ethereum (L1 or L2) user interactions are not trustless either. That is a very real challenge for the ecosystem: At every step, we made sure that trustless interactions remain architecturally possible. But we have yet to make use of that by having trustlessness as the default interaction mode.

Spot on observation. The gap between Ethereum's trustless architecture and typical user experience is a major challenge. Bridging this divide through better tools and UX will be crucial for the ecosystem's long-term success and adoption.
