According to TechFlow, Vitalik Buterin posted on social media today: "L2 technology has finally become affordable, which is the key to popularizing decentralized finance (DeFi). As early as 2020, he proposed that low transaction fees are the basis for the success of the encryption industry, which has only recently become a reality."

Robert Sasu, a core engineer at MultiverseX, responded that L2 is currently only cheap in a centralized environment.

Vitalik disagrees with this view and points out that Taiko is a decentralized rollup-based solution, indicating that the fees of decentralized L2s like Taiko have reached an affordable level. Sasu agrees, but adds that rollup-based solutions are still in the minority and hopes that more projects can migrate to this architecture.
