ETH doesn't scale. This is not surprising or new. Then they use secondary chains to batch transactions so they can backup on chain less often.<p>What seems to be new here is that these secondary chains that already exist are getting integrated into ETH while still being a separate chain.<p>So after reinventing a database they are implementing sharding on top of it which to me seems like trailing already walked paths that will guide you nowhere new.<p>The result is a less flexible and more complex system that attenuates but doesn't solve the scaling issue.
I like it when L1 blockchains just increase their system requirements over time, acknowledging improvements in global bandwidth like everything else<p>I like how we don’t have to debate blocksize on other chains<p>Someone looked at the Bitcoin whitepaper and said, hey what if nodes required 256gb RAM and a Threadripper CPU because it’s not 2008 anymore. And it was awesome<p>I would like to see an EVM take a similar approach
