Uniswap founder Hayden Adams: „I’m all for scaling improvements to L1, the rollup centric roadmap actually requires it
The thing I’m against is confused takes where ethereum is on a “rollup centric roadmap” but all the important things still have to live on L1 and we need L2s to scale but we don’t support them because something something alignment
People need to pick a lane and attempt to mitigate the risks associated with it vs scrambling to shift narratives and strategy every month
I’m also against “just do every approach” which is probably the only thing worse than not picking an approach“.

Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield filed a securities enforcement action against cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, echoing federal charges that were brought under the Biden administration but dropped earlier this year.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission dropped its case against Coinbase in February. In 2023, the agency charged the exchange with operating as an unregistered broker, exchange and clearing agency and claimed its staking-as-a-service program was also improperly registered.
