The debate over whether layer 2 should be defined solely as Rollup has been heating up, with Vitalik Buterin expressing his thoughts on the matter. In this article, we explore whether restricting layer 2 to Rollup is necessary or if a broader definition could benefit the industry.While Rollup offers flexibility and convenience, other solutions like Plasma and Validium also have their unique advantages. Vitalik suggests that layer 2 should be categorized based on security preferences, creating a distinction between Strong L2 and Light L2. This approach would allow for greater innovation and prevent a monopolization of the layer 2 market by Rollup.He argues that restricting layer 2 to Rollup could limit its potential and make it vulnerable to threats like Celestia's third-party DA. By embracing a more comprehensive definition, Vitalik aims to ensure the longevity and resilience of the Ethereum ecosystem.
