Curve Community Member Proposes Halt to Future Layer 2 Development

The proposal emphasizes the need for resource reallocation as current Layer 2 solutions yield minimal revenue amidst high maintenance demands.

Summary

Phil_00Llama, a member of the Curve community, has proposed to halt all future Layer 2 development, citing that existing L2s generate only about $1,500 in daily revenue, which is insufficient considering the maintenance required. He argues that rapid technological changes increase operational pressures, suggesting that development efforts should be redirected to more valuable areas. Community response has been limited, with one member calling for a more thorough explanation of the proposal.
