Andre Cronje, co-founder of Sonic and yearn.fi, criticized the growing trend of creating Ethereum Layer 2s designed and tailored for a specific protocol or decentralized finance app (Appchains). Cronje detailed that this approach had many downsides, including the lack of infrastructure, zero possibilities of receiving support, centralization, fragmentation of liquidity, and the lack of a community of users and builders behind the project. The developer explained that many of these projects also ignore the cost of compliance and the tooling needed to make the chain functional. In “2024 alone this has already cost us $14m, and a large part are recurring costs,” Cronje stressed.
