The competitive landscape of Ethereum Layer 2 is shifting from a flourishing diversity to an oligopoly. The superchain strategy launched by Optimism has shown significant results, with over 50 application chains now part of this ecosystem, sharing liquidity and security. This strategy of coming together for warmth makes it difficult for single independent Layer 2s to survive. For developers, choosing to join the superchain means bringing users and cross-chain bridge facilities, which is much more cost-effective than reinventing the wheel. In the future, we may see the Layer 2 market reduce to just two or three massive alliances, and OP clearly has the upper hand in this consolidation process. $XRP
