#layer2 — Public Fediverse posts

Good Read: Ethereum is facing pressure on multiple fronts and that is probably a good thing!

- L2 systems and scaling: concerns that layer 2 designs are drifting away from Ethereum’s core model and in their current form may not be delivering the kind of scaling Ethereum needs.

- The Quantum challenge: the network is taking the quantum risk seriously establishing dedicated research efforts focused specifically on post-quantum security.

- Moving into AI: proponents suggest Ethereum could act as a coordination layer for decentralized AI systems, enabling verifiable outputs, trust-minimized data sharing, and machine-to-machine economic activity.
