Beyond Layer 2: Why Layer 1 Is Key to Scaling Ethereum

Scaling Ethereum’s network has been a major challenge for years, but recent solutions like layer-2 (L2) blockchains have provided temporary relief. However, this article argues that the true path to scalability lies in addressing the EVM’s core limitations through significant advancements to the foundational layer: Layer 1 (L1). Jay Jog, co-founder of Sei Labs, explains why layer-2 solutions might not be the ideal solution.
