According to Odaily Planet Daily, Alex Gluchowski, CEO of Matter Labs, the main development company of ZKsync, believes that as L2 gradually increases, fragmentation is the next major challenge that needs to be solved in the blockchain field.
He said the new competition will be between projects offering interoperability solutions, more specifically Optimismâs Superchain and Matter Labsâ Elastic Chain, as they are the only two ecosystems in blockchain that actually implement interoperability.
Gluchowski said he doubted whether Optimismâs interoperability plans would be easily achieved without upgrading its systems to incorporate zero-knowledge proofs, which are complex technologies.
Gluchowski said that L2 chains need to be redefined and seen as useful for specific use cases, and the real question is, do we have an important L2? I donât think we need too many general-purpose L2s, but we do need some application-specific L2s or community-specific L2s.
