L2 BLOCKS ARE STUPID (BUT IT'S FINE)

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Unlike L1 blocks, which are critical for consensus and chain integrity, L2 blocks are largely artificial constructs batched for L1 settlement, rendering low block times an adjustable and overhyped engineering metric. Advances like streaming mini-blocks, which reduce intervals to as low as 15ms, improve transaction visibility by speeding up communication between sequencers and RPC nodes. Streaming blocks shift attention from block time marketing to the real driver of L2 user experience: efficient execution and network latency.
