The controversy over subsidies that extends to Polygon (Sandeep), Andre Cronje, and Solana The article by Péter Szilágyi, the lead developer of Geth, which started with "Understanding the Ethereum Developer's Revelations()", has brought various reactions in the market. It begins with Sandeep, the CEO of Polygon. - He stated that they did not receive direct support from the Ethereum Foundation or the Ethereum community, and even chose L2 over L1, resulting in billions of dollars in losses. - If Polygon declared itself as L1, it would probably be valued 2-5 times higher than its current value. The Hedera Hashgraph L1 is valued higher than the combined valuations of Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Scroll. - The more serious issue is that the Ethereum community absolutely does not recognize Polygon as L2 and does not include it in the Ethereum beta in the market. - If Polymarket achieves great success, it will be considered "Ethereum", but it is really hard to understand that Polygon itself is not Ethereum. In summary, he expresses dissatisfaction that they are not recognized for their contributions to Ethereum by the Ethereum community and foundation. Next is Andre Cronje, who created Yearn Finance, Sonic (Fantom), etc. - He built while spending over 700 ETH from ETH, but received no response, grants, or marketing support from EF, and was shocked by the active support from other chains after participating in the Sonic ecosystem. - If core developers (Peter & Geth) and major L2 (Polygon) are not receiving support, then who exactly is EF supporting? At this time, key figures from Solana take the opportunity to leave comments on each article. In Sandeep's article, raj commented "Canyou imagine if we teamed up", while Andre Cronje left a "Come Join Us" GIF. Andre Cronje also responded with the RUST code GitHub for the developing Flying Tulip. Vitalik officially wrote a long response to Sandeep's article, addressing the overall difficulties and potential developments regarding L2 projects and ZK projects. Personally, I think they are all effectively utilizing PR strategies that align with their respective interests. Polygon has seen three of its four co-founders leave, and as the ecosystem is increasingly heading towards collapse, they needed to actively leverage this negative issue to gain community interest and support. Andre needed to gain interest in the new project Flying Tulip, while Solana Foundation personnel conveyed the message that they are more inclusive compared to Ethereum. Vitalik empathized with the understanding and difficulties regarding Polygon and L2, expressing expectations for ZK and future developments, and made efforts to minimize the division between builders and the community. Regarding subsidies, I believe it is more appropriate to support projects that are still in the early stages or public goods that do not generate profits but have a positive impact, rather than projects that have already achieved results and are of significant scale. Projects like Polygon and Sonic have paid excessive subsidies for the ecosystem but should reflect on their inability to deliver results. (I also feel disappointed that I cannot agree with the claim of Polygon's L1 value.) Currently, Ethereum's subsidies are focused on community/educational events, consensus/execution layer development, developer tools (Vyper, Solhint, etc.), L2 infrastructure (L2BEAT), protocol security/upgrades (Pectra, PeerDAS), and can be confirmed through official blog posts like Allocation Update - Q1 2025. (It would be nice if other foundations could disclose transparently as well..) Additionally, Ethereum is set to announce a new subsidy program in Q4 2025, so it will be interesting to see if L2 support increases due to this issue. I have conveyed the background of this issue along with personal thoughts and interests, and I hope this helps to view it from a multifaceted perspective rather than a fragmented one. Thank you.🙏

Read this from Peter and realized that it's time for me to also speak up. NGL, I’ve started questioning my loyalty toward Ethereum. I did not come into crypto because of Bitcoin but because of Ethereum. I also have a lot of gratitude toward @VitalikButerin — someone I looked up to as an ideal for how things should be built in this world. Though I/we never got any direct support from the EF or the Ethereum CT community — in fact, the reverse. But I have always felt moral loyalty towards Ethereum even if costs me billions of dollars in Polygon's valuation perhaps. The Ethereum community as a whole has been a shit show for quite some time. Why does it feel like every other week, someone with major contributions to Ethereum has to publicly question what they’re even doing here? Just go your own way already. At best, I get trolled by well-meaning friends like @akshaybd for not declaring Polygon an L1 and walking away from this circus. Not many remember that Akshay himself was equally inclined toward Polygon in the beginning before he took his talents and helped build the Solana empire into what it is today. He got disgusted by the socialistic behavior of the Ethereum community — trolling projects like Polygon that were contributing immensely — all because of some arbitrary “technical definition.” At worst, people have started questioning my fiduciary and moral duty toward Polygon. It’s widely believed that if Polygon ever decided to call itself an L1, it would probably be valued 2–5× higher than it is today. Like think about it, Hedera Hashgraph an L1 is valued higher than Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism and Scroll combined. To make things even worse, the Ethereum community ensures Polygon is never considered an L2 and is never included in the markets' percieved Ethereum Beta. They don’t seem to understand that Polygon PoS effectively hinged on Ethereum, while Katana, XLayer, and dozens of other chains in Polygon's ecosystem are true L2s. Heck, a prominent Polygon Stakeholder literally scolded me just today because I can’t get Polygon on GrowthPie, which refuses to list the Polygon chain. When Polymarket wins big, it’s “Ethereum,” but Polygon itself is not Ethereum. Mind-boggling. Anyway — I’m also a stubborn, hard-ass soul. I’m going to give this a final push that might just revive the entire L2 narrative. Just bear with me for a few more weeks. But the Ethereum community needs to take a hard look at itself — and ask why, every day, contributors to Ethereum, even major ones like @peter_szilagyi, are forced to question or even regret their allegiance to Ethereum. My only (remaining) defense to myself is that Ethereum is a democracy — and in any democracy, people on all sides end up disgruntled. But it’s still the only system that truly works in the long run. 🤞

Imagine a world where your money is no longer fragmented by chains or trapped on islands. LayerBank (@LayerBankFi) is the "engine" that unifies all-chain funds, allowing assets to truly run free in the DeFi world. 🔥 The ambition is not to be a follower, but to be the engine of all-chain finance. Most lending protocols only scratch the surface, while LayerBank works at the foundational level: 1️⃣ One-click access to all-chain liquidity The era of islands is over: ETH, Arbitrum, Manta... deposit once, and lending across the network begins. Funds are no longer stuck or sluggish. 2️⃣ Earnings based on strategy, not luck Is on-chain yield volatile? LayerBank introduces RWA (Real World Assets), injecting stablecoin reserves into low-risk assets like U.S. Treasury bonds. DeFi's efficiency + TradFi's stability = a continuously available "yield engine." 3️⃣ Complex strategies simplified Cross-chain, leverage, lending... all handled in the background; users only need two steps: deposit + one-click maximize yield. Even grandma can operate it easily. In summary: funds flow freely, yields are stable and controllable, and operations are simple enough to understand instantly. 🛡️ Revealing hardcore resources in the background LayerBank's financing is not about numbers, but about strategy: • Manta Network: core ecosystem binding, official endorsement + technical integration + massive user base. • Nibiru Ventures: top-tier fund recognition, opening the door to all-chain liquidity integration. • LayerZero: leading in underlying interoperability, safe and reliable, backed by a16z & Sequoia trust. Funds are not the end goal; they are a strategic moat. The dual core of technology + ecosystem allows LayerBank to establish a foothold in all-chain finance and leverage the entire landscape. 💡 Final logic LayerBank is not just a protocol; it is a new type of engine for all-chain finance: Aggregating fragmented assets, integrating traditional and on-chain yields, and simplifying complex operations. With it, DeFi is no longer just a testing ground, but a truly usable, scalable, and profitable financial network. Follow LayerBank and witness the roar of the engine in the new era of all-chain finance. The future of free-flowing funds accelerates from this moment.

Dive deeper into Arbitrum

Arbitrum has emerged as a leading Ethereum scaling solution, garnering significant attention even before its airdrop in March 2023. Its utility as a layer-two scaling solution for the Ethereum network has been pivotal in establishing its prominence within the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem.

What is Arbitrum?

Arbitrum is a Layer 2 blockchain protocol specifically developed to enhance the scalability of the Ethereum network. Arbitrum aims to increase transaction throughput on Ethereum by employing optimistic roll-ups while maintaining its security and decentralization. It provides a seamless migration path for developers to transition their applications from the Layer 1 Ethereum protocol to the Layer 2 Arbitrum protocol.

Offchain Labs created the protocol, and its Mainnet was launched in 2021. In March 2023, the Arbitrum Foundation introduced ARB as the native token of the Arbitrum ecosystem. This marked an important milestone in the project's evolution and further solidified its role in the crypto space.

The Arbitrum team

The Arbitrum team comprises Ed Felten, Steven Goldfeder, and Harry Kalodner, previously researchers at Princeton University. Ed Felten, a Professor of Computer Science, brings his expertise to the project, while Steven Goldfeder and Harry Kalodner hold Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science. Together, they form a skilled and knowledgeable team driving the development and innovation behind Arbitrum.

How does Arbitrum work?

The Arbitrum network utilizes optimistic roll-ups to scale the Ethereum network. While the Ethereum blockchain can handle only 15-30 transactions per second (TPS), roll-ups can increase transaction speed by up to 85 times.

Optimistic roll-ups aggregate transactions and process them off-chain in batches rather than individually on-chain. These transactions are then verified in batches and with reduced frequency on the blockchain.

To illustrate, think of optimistic roll-ups as grouping multiple transactions, similar to picking up all the items you need from a supermarket in one go rather than paying for each item separately.

In contrast, the traditional Ethereum network processes transactions one by one, like paying for each item individually at the store. Arbitrum's protocol, leveraging optimistic roll-ups, enables transactions to be rolled-up and processed in batches, thus enhancing scalability and efficiency.

Arbitrum’s native token: ARB

ARB is an ERC-20 token that functions as the governance token within the Arbitrum ecosystem. ARB Holders can vote on proposals put forth in the decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), either in favor or against them.

Tokenomics

ARB has a total supply of 10 billion tokens, with a circulating supply of 1.275 billion tokens. During the viral airdrop on March 23, 2023, the Arbitrum Foundation distributed 12.75% of the total ARB supply to users and DAOs.

Staking ARB tokens

ARB tokens can be staked on various decentralized exchanges (DEXs), allowing users to earn rewards from the fees generated by the liquidity pool. The longer the ARB tokens are staked or locked, the higher the potential rewards for the user.

Additionally, centralized exchanges (CEXs) like OKX provide staking services for ARB through their OKX Earn. Users can earn a flexible 1 percent annual percentage yield (APY) on their staked ARB tokens.

Arbitrum’s use cases

Arbitrum's use cases primarily revolve around its governance functionality. As the native governance token of the ecosystem, ARB is designed for voting on proposals and decisions within the Arbitrum network. Additionally, ARB can be staked to earn rewards and serve as a store of value for users within the ecosystem. It's important to note that ARB is not utilized as gas fees for transactions on the network

ARB Token distribution

The supply distribution of ARB is as follows:

  • Arbitrum DAO treasury: 42.78%
  • Offchain Labs teams and advisors: 26.94%
  • Investors: 17.53%
  • Airdrop to users: 11.62%
  • Airdrop to DAOs: 1.13%

Arbitrum’s future vision

Arbitrum's future vision is centered around achieving progressive decentralization. While the Arbitrum Foundation currently holds most of the decision-making power in the ecosystem, the goal is to transition towards a more decentralized governance model as the Arbitrum ecosystem expands and more web3 users engage with the network.

In the meantime, ARB token holders can actively participate in voting for improvement proposals, ensuring a level of community involvement.

Furthermore, Arbitrum has plans to launch a Layer 3 DApp shortly.

This layer-three solution, called Orbit, will allow developers to deploy programs using popular programming languages such as Rust and C++.
