Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

This blog post explores the differences between L1s and L2s, rollups vs. integrated systems, and app-specific vs. general-purpose architectures. There is a need for an increased understanding of what and when to build, to avoid unnecessary complexity and poor user experiences. Rollups/L2s are not inherently bad for user experience, but fragmented ones are. You need to carefully consider the target market and the architecture's functionality before deciding which one fits your use case.
