Jesse Pollak, head of the Base protocol, responded on X to Solana co-founder toly, saying: 'I don’t think the relationship between Base and Ethereum is zero-sum competition. Base and other L2s are actually executing the Ethereum roadmap, and many of us have been working together on this for over 5 years. If Base grows, Ethereum will also grow.'
Will the transaction acceptance rate of Ethereum on L2 be lower than on L1? Yes, absolutely. When we are in what may be the greatest growth opportunity in human history, will this acceptance rate be the same as it is today? I doubt it — I expect it to be higher, but it will still be below 100%. Should L1 also increase capacity? Yes, that would be great!
We can win together. Building together is 100 times more interesting than tearing each other down and competing in a zero-sum way, and the chances of success are also 100 times greater.
That said, I do understand how useful it is for you to drive us to compete with each other. The more fiercely we compete, the less we can focus on working together across multiple layers to build the best possible version of Ethereum. My goal is to ensure that does not happen. Achieve together, stick to the basics, and keep building.
