Has the decentralized narrative collapsed? Vitalik personally stepped in to sabotage it, saying that many L2 solutions are just fake tricks with backdoors, and their architecture is no different from traditional servers.

Vitalik Buterin: Some L2 projects are not fully decentralized
ME News Report, May 16 (UTC+8), 2025: Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated during his EthCC speech that many Layer 2 projects claiming to be built on-chain have backdoors that can be triggered at any time or lack decentralization. He believes that the architecture of these projects is not much different from traditional centralized servers. He pointed out that if developers cannot ensure complete decentralization of the project, directly using centralized servers might be more practical. (Source: MLion)
