You can’t love Ethereum without loving scaling solutions. Ethereum is L2s and scaling solutions at this point

Like it or hate it, this statement is true. Ethereum did A LOT of hard work establishing itself as the first and best multi-use chain on the market and cemented its reputation as one of the safest chains out there.

However, becoming the best in one thing, and maintaining that status is another. And so far (at least statistically) Ethereum is the best chain out there in terms of sheer numbers.

This status wouldn’t have possibly been sustainable without scaling solutions stepping up their game and helping people operate Ethereum.

And this can all be clearly seen with commit chains like Polygon have more daily active users than Ethereum itself considering you literally pay pennies there compared to double digit gas fees on Ethereum along with things like beinf able to mint NFTs for free there.

People want to use Ethereum so bad but would rather do that through scaling solutions.

TLDR: Ethereum did a great job claiming its spot, but half of the cake goes to scaling solutions for helping Ethereum maintain that position.
