The recent hack on Blast, an Ethereum Layer 2 solution, has sparked a debate on decentralization within the crypto community. Concerns have been raised about the centralized nature of rollups like Blast, where a team can make discretionary calls on users' funds. The incident has highlighted the importance of achieving decentralization in Layer 2 solutions to avoid vulnerabilities and maintain immutability. The crypto projects mentioned in the tweets, such as Lido, Eigen, Aave, Uniswap, and USDC, are crucial players in the ecosystem.
Blast L2 hack prompts debate over centralization of Ethereum rollups https://t.co/U9hPrtk9Tv
Fast centralized ETH L2 (Blast/Base) VS Fast decentralized L1 (SOL) Really have to reconsider how things will play out in the future, given what happened with Blast.
The first rollup to accelerate development and become fully decentralized will take major market share. The problem isnโt what the Blast team may decide. Itโs that a decision is even possible. All vectors of centralization will eventually be exposed.
Blast is showing us why decentralization is critical and why it's in every rollup/layer 2's best interest to achieve stage 2 asap. https://t.co/RqEmOtD5hY
Right now with Blast, Iโm watching CT argue the future of Ethereum is centralized, real-time Welcome to the world of centralized rollups where one team can make a discretionary call on your funds, no matter what dapp you use

there's no reason to believe blast would choose decentralization now but just know theres no reason to believe that a sufficiently large exploit wouldn't trigger the same on mainnet immutability is ez as long as lido, eigen, aave, uniswap, and usdc are fine
