Polygon 首席执行官猛烈抨击 Layer 3 网络，谴责对以太坊的负面影响

Polygon 首席执行官马克·布瓦龙 (Marc Boiron) 对第 3 层 (L3) 网络提出了批评，认为它们转移了以太坊的价值并阻碍了扩展工作。尽管承认第 2 层 (L2) 解决方案的好处，但 Boiron 认为 L3 对网络的安全和经济可持续性构成风险，声称它们可能会导致以太坊价值捕获减少和验证者信心下降。

Polygon CEO Denounces Layer 3 Networks, Asserting Negative Impact on Ethereum

Polygon 首席执行官谴责第 3 层网络，声称对以太坊产生负面影响

ETHDenver, Colorado, March 31, 2024 - Amidst the ongoing discourse surrounding Ethereum scaling solutions, Polygon CEO Marc Boiron has vehemently criticized Layer 3 (L3) networks, alleging that they detract value from Ethereum and impede its network growth.

科罗拉多州 ETHDenver，2024 年 3 月 31 日 - 在围绕以太坊扩展解决方案的持续讨论中，Polygon 首席执行官 Marc Boiron 强烈批评第 3 层 (L3) 网络，声称它们降低了以太坊的价值并阻碍其网络增长。

L3s: A Detriment to Ethereum's Value Proposition

L3：对以太坊价值主张的损害

Boiron's critique centers on the assertion that L3 networks serve solely to divert value away from Ethereum and towards the Layer 2 (L2) solutions upon which they are built. He argues that L3s are unnecessary for Ethereum's scalability, and their implementation would only burden the network with additional layers of complexity.

Boiron 的批评集中在这样的断言上：L3 网络的作用只是将价值从以太坊转移到构建它们的第 2 层 (L2) 解决方案。他认为 L3 对于以太坊的可扩展性来说是不必要的，它们的实现只会给网络带来额外的复杂性负担。

"L3s exist only to take value away from Ethereum and onto the L2s on which the L3s are built," Boiron stated. "You do not need L3s to scale."

Boiron 表示：“L3 的存在只是为了将价值从以太坊转移到构建 L3 的 L2 上。” “你不需要 L3 来扩展。”

This stance aligns with Polygon Labs' decision to abstain from developing L3 solutions, as Boiron emphasized. While acknowledging the importance of L2s in supporting Ethereum's network, he disputed the notion that L2 value equates to Ethereum's value.

正如 Boiron 所强调的那样，这一立场与 Polygon Labs 放弃开发 L3 解决方案的决定是一致的。虽然承认 L2 在支持以太坊网络方面的重要性，但他对 L2 价值等同于以太坊价值的观点提出了质疑。

Security Concerns and Economic Implications

安全问题和经济影响

Boiron raised concerns regarding the potential risks to Ethereum's security if all L3s converged on a single L2. Such a scenario, he believes, would erode Ethereum's value capture and jeopardize its economic sustainability.

Boiron 对如果所有 L3 都汇聚到单个 L2 上可能给以太坊安全带来的潜在风险表示担忧。他认为，这种情况将削弱以太坊的价值捕获并危及其经济可持续性。

"If Ethereum ceases to generate fees and has no prospects for fee generation beyond a single L2," Boiron explained, "the value of ETH would decline." This situation could lead validators to lose confidence in ETH, resulting in a decline in network security as validators withdraw from securing the network.

Boiron 解释说：“如果以太坊停止产生费用，并且在单一 L2 之外没有产生费用的前景，那么 ETH 的价值将会下降。”这种情况可能会导致验证者对 ETH 失去信心，随着验证者退出保护网络，导致网络安全性下降。

Contesting the Benefits of L3s

争论 L3 的优势

In a rejoinder to Boiron's claims, Peter Haymond, a community member involved in building scaling solutions for Ethereum, countered that L3s offer a range of benefits without necessarily detracting value from Ethereum.

参与构建以太坊扩展解决方案的社区成员 Peter Haymond 反驳了 Boiron 的说法，他反驳道，L3 提供了一系列好处，但不一定会降低以太坊的价值。

"There's a bunch of benefits for L3's. They don't take away value from Ethereum," Haymond tweeted.

“L3 有很多好处。它们不会剥夺以太坊的价值，”Haymond 在推特上写道。

Polygon CDK: Bridging the Gap

Polygon CDK：弥合差距

Boiron acknowledged the advantages of low-cost native bridging inherent in L2 solutions. However, he cautioned against the economic and security costs associated with relying on external bridges, which could introduce delays in capital usage and require payments for expedited capital access.

Boiron 承认 L2 解决方案固有的低成本本机桥接的优势。不过，他警告称，依赖外部桥梁会带来经济和安全成本，这可能会导致资本使用延迟，并需要为加快资本获取支付费用。

Additionally, Boiron questioned the perceived benefits of low-cost challenge or proving, suggesting that such costs may be mitigated through proof aggregation. He also dismissed the notion of custom gas tokens as an exclusive benefit, highlighting their availability for L2s on Polygon CDK.

此外，布瓦龙质疑低成本挑战或证明的明显好处，表明可以通过证明聚合来减轻此类成本。他还驳斥了定制 Gas 代币作为一种独特优势的概念，强调了它们在 Polygon CDK 上的 L2 的可用性。

Ultimately, Boiron categorized other potential benefits attributed to L3s as not truly exclusive to these networks, as they are also available for L2s, thereby rendering the need for L3s superfluous.

最终，Boiron 将 L3 带来的其他潜在好处归类为并非真正专属于这些网络，因为它们也可用于 L2，从而使 L3 的需求变得多余。

Conclusion

结论

Polygon CEO Marc Boiron's outspoken critique of Layer 3 networks has ignited a lively debate within the Ethereum community. While some argue that L3s provide valuable benefits and do not detract from Ethereum's value proposition, others share Boiron's concerns about their potential negative impact on network security and scalability. As the discourse continues, the future role of L3s in Ethereum's scaling landscape remains an open question.

Polygon 首席执行官 Marc Boiron 对 Layer 3 网络的直言不讳的批评在以太坊社区内引发了激烈的争论。虽然一些人认为 L3 提供了宝贵的好处，并且不会损害以太坊的价值主张，但其他人也与 Boiron 一样担心它们对网络安全性和可扩展性的潜在负面影响。随着讨论的继续，L3 在以太坊扩容领域的未来角色仍然是一个悬而未决的问题。
