The Layer1 space is reaching saturation—we're past the point where launching another L1 makes sense. Honestly, the ecosystem doesn't need more competing chains fragmenting liquidity and developers. What we really need is quality over quantity: stronger infrastructure on existing networks, better cross-chain solutions, and genuine use cases that justify why a new L1 should exist at all. The early days of L1 proliferation are over. The market's shifting toward consolidation and optimization.

Someone should have said it earlier; too many L1s just split liquidity forcefully, and developers are being driven to death.

Someone should have said this a long time ago: with so many L1s, it's really funny that they're still issuing tokens.

L1 should have been reshuffled long ago; a bunch of clone chains keep draining blood endlessly.

With so many chains on L1, liquidity is scattered everywhere, and there's really no need to reinvent the wheel.

I've been saying it all along, randomly issuing L1 tokens is just a way to scam retail investors. Now finally someone dares to tell the truth.

L1 saturation is indeed a fact. Adding more new chains is just reinventing the wheel; it's better to focus on making the existing chains more solid.
