Ethereum layer 2s are on the verge of achieving full decentralization, according to several teams. This "Stage 2" decentralization, a concept from Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin, would make censorship nearly impossible on the networks. Nicolas Liochon, founder of Linea, expects most L2s to reach this stage within a few years. Anthony Rose, CTO of zkSync developer Matter Labs, predicts the same timeline, anticipating consolidation in the space. However, others, like Kevin Liu, co-founder of Metis, and Vince Yang, CEO of zkLink, believe full decentralization is still a long way off, citing technical and financial challenges.
