Bankless founder: Ethereum L1 implementation hardware requirements should be the latest two generations of MacBook Pro
Bankless founder David Hoffman posted on the X platform, "Ethereum development has been prioritizing L2 execution for over 2 years. This is at the expense of L1 execution. L1 execution lags behind Moore's Law, while L2 receives undeserved growth and valuation subsidies from L1. Therefore, we should re-prioritize L1 execution work. I agree with @MaxResnick1 that the L1 hardware requirement should be'latest 2nd generation Macbook Pro ', which is fully in line with the social contract of individual pledgers.
This increases the accessibility of Ethereum L1 to 10x more users, at a fraction of the cost. The argument against this is that the Ethereum ecosystem needs to be restructured around less simultaneous composability - growing L1 implementations will reduce the urgency to solve this problem. Rollup-centric Ethereum is the right roadmap - let's face the hard problems head-on. "
