The Devcon panel discussion focused on the future of DeFi on Ethereum, examining how it stacks up against other Layer-1 (L1) and Layer-2 (L2) blockchains. Panelists debated Ethereum's robust security and established network effects in contrast to the lower transaction costs offered by L2s and other L1s like Solana. They discussed the balance between decentralization and scalability, recognizing a practical shift towards prioritizing user adoption, even if it means compromising some decentralization in the short term. Ultimately, the panelists concluded that Ethereum's success hinges on a synergistic relationship between L1 and L2, which can drive innovation and attract a variety of applications beyond mere replicas, while also ensuring that Ethereum L1 remains relevant and competitive.
