The Sandbox is also building its own Layer 2 this time, which indeed shows that everyone wants a piece of the pie. But to be honest, is the L2 ecosystem already a bit oversaturated now?

From leading L2s like Arbitrum and Optimism to various vertical public chains pushing layer 2 scaling solutions, and now with projects building their own L2s, there are already too many chains out in the market. Is this fragmentation really building a multi-chain ecosystem, or is it dispersing liquidity?

It is worth reflecting on how much incremental space L2 has left and whether everyone will ultimately be competing for a limited user pool.

SAND2,91%

ARB1,46%

OP1,92%

To be honest, L2 is just a big brawl right now, with every project wanting to mint their own coins. --- Rather than calling it a multi-chain ecosystem, it’s more like everyone is competing with each other, where can the Liquidity flow? --- Sandbox building its own L2? I’d like to see who can survive in the end, betting on Arbitrum or Optimism. --- This is the crypto world, it looks lively, but in reality, it’s just new ways to Be Played for Suckers. --- So true, the term fragmentation is well used, but the problem is no one wants to hear about it. --- It feels like the incremental space of L2 has already been proven dead, and now it’s purely a battle for the existing market, which is a bit uncomfortable.

In simple terms, everyone just wants to make money on L2, who cares about the ecosystem's survival. There are so many L2s that it's explosive, and the dilution of liquidity is completely unsurprising. Sandbox's self-built L2 is purely out of anxiety; these projects haven't really thought it through. If someone really dares to ask, you'll know the outcome when it's time for a bloodbath.

L2 has really gone a bit overboard, to put it simply, it's about grabbing the pie.

To be honest, this wave of self-built L2 is really a bit ridiculous, everyone wants to be the master of the chain. L2 has become so common, liquidity has been shattered, how will users choose in the end... Every project has to create its own L2, isn't this just tying themselves up? If this continues, I really don't know how it will end, it feels like a game of passing the buck.

Bro, instead of worrying about whether L2 is saturated or not, why not think about who can survive till the end? --- Another self-built L2? This generation of project parties really has interpreted "I can do it too" perfectly. --- If it's fragmented, then let it be, anyway I only follow the top players, the rest... let's talk about it later. --- To be honest, this wave of L2 arms race is just like Cryptocurrency Trading, in the end, it's still the retail investors who are left running. --- I just want to see if this Sandbox trap can pump up, otherwise it's just another "my chain". --- This issue of liquidity being scattered should have been brought up by someone earlier, it really is a bit chaotic now.
