According to ChainCatcher, Hayden Adams, founder of Uniswap, said in a post on the X platform yesterday that L2 chains focused on Ethereum expansion should not focus on immutability (the ability to retain an unchanged and unchangeable transaction ledger) until the Ethereum blockchain is ready.
“Ethereum L2 should not be immutable. It’s been 10 years and L1 is not ready to be immutable,” Adams said, adding that it is “pointless” to expect that the L2 network “will never be upgraded again or force a large-scale migration.”
“The very nature of how users and applications are interconnected on L2 chains breaks composability if some migrate and some don’t,” he explained.
The Ethereum Foundation has stated that the L2 chain is its expansion plan. In response, Jonathan Colón, head of the ecosystem at NFT market Rarible, called the L2 network a "money grab."
Adams responded: “The whole plan to scale Ethereum is ‘L2’, we either make them work or change the roadmap (I’m leaning towards the former). Calling them money grabs (or) saying they need to be immutable doesn’t change that. They’re expensive to build, and L1 doesn’t fund the work.”
