When an L2 introduces a native gas token, it's worth questioning the actual problem being solved—is this genuinely addressing scalability bottlenecks, or simply manufacturing artificial demand? True scaling solutions should reduce friction, not create new tokenomics dependencies. The design choice reveals whether a protocol prioritizes genuine throughput improvements or extracted value capture.

Trying to cut the leeks again, huh? After wrapping it in an L2 layer, you still want to manipulate local gas coins.

It's the same old trick again, packaged as expansion but actually just playing people for suckers. What a joke, if it can really expand, why would it need new coins to catch a falling knife? To put it bluntly, it's just about wanting traffic, what's all this talk about improving throughput.

It's that same old rhetoric again, isn't the local gas token just a disguised value capture? If you're really going to scale, why do you have to buy another coin... systemic risk lying in ambush? --- When the price of clean liquid is falling all the way, these L2s are still hyping about throughput improvements, hilarious, they just want to establish a new lending rate lowland. --- The friction hasn't decreased, it's just changing places to play people for suckers, from gas fees to gas token Holdings pressure... a sense of déjà vu on the eve of a domino effect. --- Design choices expose everything, there's no technical sincerity, it's purely a power-decentralization-style play for suckers, a textbook case of artificially creating demand. --- Wait, I don't know if this is real scaling or artificial demand, but I know that the health factor of holding such tokens is on a downward trend... --- They want to issue coin and also scale, a typical case of wanting it all, once the risk control threshold is broken, it's a rhythm of chain liquidations.

Want to do local gas tokens? To put it bluntly, it's just trying to Be Played for Suckers. Scalability is still a middleman.
