CurveDAO members propose to limit Layer 2 expansion and focus on Ethereum Mainnet development.

[Coin World] On August 2, CurveDAO member phil_00Llama submitted a proposal aimed at preventing this decentralized exchange from further expanding into other Ethereum Layer 2s, citing its lack of economic utility. The proposal stated: "Layer 2 takes up the time of excellent developers. These chains need at least the same amount of follow as Ethereum, but the returns are minimal. By reducing all development in this area, Curve can regain its energy and move towards more productive directions." He pointed out, "I think Curve should increase its investment in Ethereum, such as focusing on broader adoption of scrvUSD within the Ethereum ecosystem." He noted that "during times of low volume," the income generated by Curve's mining pools on the Ethereum mainnet is 450.00 times that of all its Layer 2 deployments combined. This proposal was made after a similar move by Aave co-founder Marc Zeller. In mid-July, Marc Zeller stated that despite passing a temporary check vote, the lending protocol should stop its deployment on Bitcoin Layer 2 BOB. According to data platforms, Curve is currently live on approximately 25 chains, but not all of them are strictly Layer 2, including Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Celo, Gnosis, Hyperliquid, Ink, Polygon, Sonic, etc.
