The scalability trilemma that once defined Ethereum's limitations appears to have finally been addressed through recent protocol innovations. This shift fundamentally reshapes the competitive landscape in blockchain—the narrative around so-called Ethereum alternatives is losing its foundation.



For years, the argument went: pick two out of three. Security, decentralization, scalability—projects claimed you couldn't maximize all simultaneously. But as Ethereum's layer 2 solutions mature and execution improves, that zero-sum premise crumbles.

When the core constraint dissolves, what remains of the case for alternative L1s? The story changes. The era of "Ethereum killers" relied on positioning themselves against a perceived architectural dead-end. That premise no longer holds.

The momentum is clear. 🚀

The three dilemmas have been solved? Nonsense, the real war has just begun.

Nah, is this really different this time? I’ve said that before, and look at the result.

Will a mature L2 solution really solve all the problems? I'll keep an eye on it, let's talk about it later.

ngl, the trilemma framing was always kinda lazy tbh... but yeah, L2 maturation changes the whole game. those alt-L1 narratives are looking pretty hollow now that the constraint actually dissolved. innovation arbitrage opportunities dried up real quick lol

Nah, ETH Layer 2s are really taking off, and the stories of those copycat coins can't go on anymore.

Haha, it's hilarious. Are those who used to claim to be "Ethereum killers" now feeling embarrassed or not?
