According to Odaily, Crypto Texan, the Growth Manager at Polygon, has shared his views on 'Layer 3' on platform X. He discussed the potential of Layer 3 (L3) to solve crypto scalability issues, but also highlighted its many drawbacks. He suggested that Layer 2 (L2) aggregation possesses all the advantages without the disadvantages, making it a viable solution for crypto scalability.
Texan also pointed out that while some L3s can achieve interoperability within a single L2 ecosystem, this approach still disperses liquidity and users by creating moats. He further noted that many L3 models that rely on L2 for settlements include fee extraction, which could be a potential downside.
Lastly, Texan mentioned that L3 sacrifices some sovereignty, as it depends on the governance and fee extraction mechanisms imposed by L2. This dependence could potentially limit the autonomy and flexibility of L3 solutions. These insights provide a comprehensive understanding of the complexities and challenges associated with implementing Layer 3 solutions in the crypto space.
