Yes we will see various interested parties work incessantly to gain advantages unchain, just as we see VCs and crypto corporates lobby governments today. This is an important engine of innovation.Their efforts will be far more legible and traceable onchain. And of course smart actors will use obfuscation techniques. Fortunately, the open source blockchain ecosystem has a super-power called forking.If a group doesn't like the philosophy or decisions of a Layer 1 community, it is possible to fork the running ...

Interesting crypto impact analysis from @Surf_Copilot on the AWS outage: https://t.co/CncrqNIiGISurf (@Surf_Copilot):INSIGHT: On Oct 20, an AWS outage exposed crypto’s hidden dependencies.Base lost ~25% throughput when its AWS-hosted sequencer went down, while Arbitrum and Optimism stayed fully operational on multi-cloud setups.Decentralization proved to be real resilience. https://t.co/6Zkm47SBk9 ...

and again, this is not necessarily an L2 exclusive problem, L1s without sufficient geo decentralization are also vulnerable to thisthe difference is that the L1 requires more things to go wrong, so it is generally, probabilistically more resilient (but not always) ...
