Base Protocol Leader: Base and Ethereum are not in a zero-sum competition, L2 is implementing the Ethereum roadmap for a win-win situation

Base protocol leader Jesse Pollak said in response to Solana co-founder Toly: "I don't think the relationship between Base and Ethereum is a zero-sum competition. Base and other L2s are actually implementing the Ethereum roadmap, many of us have been working together on this for over 5 years, if Base develops, Ethereum will also develop. Will Ethereum's transaction acceptance rate on L2 be lower than on L1? Yes, absolutely so. Will this acceptance rate be like today when we are in possibly the greatest growth opportunity in human history? I doubt it—I expect it to be higher, but it will still be less than 100%. Should L1 also increase capacity? Yes, that would be great! We can win-win. Building together is 100 times more fun than tearing each other down and competing in a zero-sum way, with a 100 times higher chance of success. That being said, I do understand how useful your drive for us to compete against each other is. The fiercer we compete, the less able we are to focus our efforts across multiple levels to build the best possible version of Ethereum. My goal is to ensure that this does not happen. Let's achieve each other's goals while sticking to basics and continue building."
