Ethereum Network Resilience - Ethereum has been online for ten years with zero pauses and zero maintenance windows [1][2] - Ethereum persists through forks, crashes, bubbles, lawsuits, hacks, wars, and various internet-related issues [1] - Ethereum's continuous operation is attributed to a decentralized community of developers, stakers, researchers, and users [1] Comparison with Centralized Systems - Centralized giants experience downtime and rely on on-call personnel [1] - Facebook experienced a 14-hour outage [3] - AWS Kinesis froze for 17 hours [3] - Cloudflare dropped 19 datacenters [3] Industry Perspective - While traditional financial institutions and cloud services face failures, Ethereum continues to operate [2] - Alternative Layer 1 blockchains also experience downtime [3]

L2 Construction & Strategy - The optimal approach to building an L2 involves maximizing the utilization of the L1's inherent features, such as security, censorship resistance, proofs, and data availability [1] - L2 logic should be streamlined to focus on sequencing and proving, or solely proving if based [1] - Ethereum L2s enable trust minimization and efficiency, which enterprise blockchains sought in the 2010s but couldn't achieve [2] Industry Trends & Predictions - There is a prediction that most alt-L1s will transition into L2s [2] - Celo's integration into Ethereum's ecosystem, including carbon initiatives, inflation reduction from 2% to 1%, block time reduction from 5s to 1s, and legacy code elimination, serves as a playbook for this transition [2]
