🏛️ L2s Enter Sovereign Era
🏛️ L2s Go Independent
L2s are evolving into independent economies rather than just scaling solutions. In a recent interview, Linea's leadership discussed how Layer 2 networks are entering their "sovereign era" - transitioning from infrastructure providers to self-sustaining economic systems.
Key developments:
- L2s moving beyond efficiency improvements to become actual economies
- Chains developing diverse revenue streams for sustainability
- Focus shifting from technical scaling to economic viability
Linea's positioning:
- Multiple revenue streams creating economic diversity
- Minimal supply overhang supporting sustainable tokenomics
- Strategic approach to long-term economic sustainability
This represents a fundamental shift in how Layer 2 networks operate, moving from dependency on Ethereum's economics to creating their own sustainable business models.
