I don’t think bridging from L1 to L2s should be something we expose to general users. It’s too expensive and confusing. Users should just withdrawal from a CEX to an L2 the same way they do to L1.

I disagree here. Abstracting L1 and L2s from the user away would be a better way than going through a CEX. The user shouldn’t need to know that hey are on an L1/L2. With a CEX you have to register and maybe even go through a KYC process.

I also think a lot of these cross-chain minting solutions can be integrated into wallets where apps and media will live on certain chains but the liquidity can come from wherever you have liquidity.

Agree but also I think users can grok bridging across chains. P2P money on cash app and then bridge to Bank of America so my ACH can pay my Amex card. TradFi is not super easy either.

Or just use reliable bridges, bridge aggregators, or interoperable blockchain swap mechanisms to go from cheap L1s or other L2s -> L2s.

100%. Ideally users should not be aware of any of the layers. It should only withdraw to his/her wallet whatever coin he/she wants

I agree so hard. It's just way too technical for regular people, and scares off a lot of them. Same with common banks, the user only sees how much money they have and how much is disposable. They don't show uncleared, pending, floating, accrued interests, ... that's fine in the background, make the UX uncomplicated!

+100. Just tried to get EURe on gnosis to order gnosis pay and rainbow didn't support it and the errors were weird and ended up having someone send me some and I sent some eth on base to them. Much faster and better UX. Same goes for signing txs imo UX is more important than decentralization of all things

Chains should be abstracted away from the user entirely. At the very least the chain select dropdown picker should go away. The app should just use the chain(s) needed to make the feature work and get user input on tx. We don’t expose programming languages to the user, just the app experience.

@sun and i were just chatting about how cumbersome it still is to interact on L2s. bridges are still too costly, too slow, too un-fun

100% using ETH natively accross L1-L2 was a huge improvement, but still too much friction

I'd love to see coinbase wallet offer something like multi-chain eth, where you can spend any eth you have in their browser and in the backend they do all of the bridging and swapping necessary. If I'm on base but all of my eth is on arbitrum, coinbase should ask me if it's okay and just do the swapping for me

I’m a software developer and crypto chains confuse the shit out of me. I can only imagine someone with zero experience.

Agree. The less a user knows about this the better. They just want low friction and free / very low cost.
