Golden Finance reported that Jesse Pollak, head of the Base protocol, said in a reply to Solana co-founder toly on Many of us have been working on this together for over 5 years, and if Base grows, so will Ethereum.
Will Ethereum’s transaction acceptance rate on L2 be lower than L1? Yes, absolutely. Will this acceptance rate be the same as it is today, when we are in the midst of perhaps the greatest growth opportunity in human history? I doubt it - I expected it to be higher, but it would still be below 100%. Should L1 also have increased capacity? Yes, that’s good too!
We can win together. Building with us is 100 times more fun and 100 times more likely to succeed than tearing each other down and competing in a zero-sum fashion.
Having said that, I do see how useful it is for you to drive us to compete against each other. The more competitive we become, the less focused we are on working together across multiple levels to build the best version of Ethereum possible. My goal is to make sure this doesn't happen. Build each other up, stick to the basics, and keep building. "
