In a thought-provoking discussion, Marc Boiron, the CEO of Polygon, highlighted a potential risk for Ethereum due to the rise of Layer 3 (L3) solutions. Boiron expressed concerns that L3 advancements might siphon value from Ethereum, especially if these layers opt to consolidate on a singular Layer 2 (L2) network. He warned that such a scenario could leave Ethereum devoid of significant value, potentially compromising its security mechanisms.

This assertion has ignited a widespread debate within the crypto community, prompting experts and enthusiasts to reevaluate the structural dynamics of blockchain layers and their implications for Ethereum’s blockchain ecosystem and its long-term viability​.
