If L1 will remain expensive and we are recommended to use L2, aren't Solidity programs kinda useless?

  • It's up to you to choose which chain you want to use in functions of different drawbacks / tradeoff they provide. L2 isn't strictly better than L1 for multiple reasons: - L1 have more liquidity, if you create a strategy that needs deep liquidity (imagine yearn for example), L1 is a really strong bet because L1 is the only chain capable to eat that much tokens. - L1 is still the main meeting point, if you create a dapp that use 3+ other dapps, it is likely L1 is the only place you can use it, because often your first protocol is on ETH and Polygon, second one is ETH and Arbitrum and last one ETH and Optimism. Then you just need to eat the bullet and make it on ethereum. - L1 is what people want to use. You might think "wtf but the fees ?", but that precisely the fees that tell us that. If you go on https://cryptofees.info/, you see that ethereum is where people buy their gas. If people really thought gas was an issue they would try to move an other chain and we would see ethereum's fees go down and alternative cheaper chains goes up. The fact that this doesn't happen means that for now, people think it is worther to stay on ethereum than moving.
