Ethereum Layer 2 Evolution: Why General-Purpose Chains Face Extinction While Specialized L2s Thrive
04.06.2026 17:18
The Ethereum (ETH) ecosystem is undergoing a critical transformation. While not all layer 2 (L2) solutions are dying, a significant number of general-purpose L2 chains are losing their competitive edge. As the market matures, these chains no longer have a clear reason to exist, facing pressure from specialized L2s and Ethereum’s own scaling upgrades. The future belongs to focused, application-specific rollups that offer unique value propositions, leaving generic L2s struggling for relevance. Investors and developers must reassess the L2 landscape, focusing on chains with strong network effects and differentiated use cases.
