Emin Gün Sirer Issues Caution on Rising Trash Layer 2s in Crypto Sphere

Sirer pointed out that the void left by Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) is being filled by what he terms “trash Layer 2s,” characterized by centralized sequencers lacking fraud proofs and founders engaging in dubious practices akin to those of SBF.

In a candid statement, Sirer criticized the tendency to overlook warning signs in favor of individuals who appear intelligent and financially successful. He emphasized the need for vigilance, highlighting red flags such as discrepancies between project narratives and technology, token sales for speculative purposes, and founders offloading personal tokens pre-launch.

Sirer urged the community to discern genuine solutions from trash Layer 2s by focusing on addressing critical challenges facing crypto, such as supporting diverse use cases and integrating with traditional finance. He also cautioned against being swayed by superficial appearances or mere replication of others’ ideas.

Meanwhile, the Ethereum Dencun upgrade, which promises improved scalability and reduced transaction fees for L2 networks, has garnered mixed reactions within the community. Despite the anticipation surrounding Dencun, concerns linger regarding the efficacy and user-friendliness of L2 solutions, with even Vitalik Buterin expressing reservations about their adoption.
