Vitalik wrote on the X platform that Base is working the right way: it is a two-layer network (L2) built on top of Ethereum, leveraging its centralized nature to provide a stronger user experience, while relying on Ethereum's decentralized base layer for security. Base does not host user funds, they can neither steal funds nor prevent users from withdrawing funds (which is in line with L2beat's Stage 1 definition).
I sense that many people have been puzzled by some recent cynical voices that L2beat is akin to some kind of "geek version of the rule-enforcement agency". This is not the case. The security L2 provides, and the metrics L2beat measures, reflect specific mechanisms that actually protect users from the risk of "running away".
What we mean by L2 unescrow: they are extensions of Ethereum, not just "high-level servers" that submit hashes. In the smart contract logic of Ethereum L1, specific channels have been implemented and have been successfully used in practical cases, ensuring that the funds of L2 users are ultimately controlled by L1, and that L2 operators can neither steal nor prevent users from withdrawing funds.
Vitalik praised Base as the right way to scale Ethereum, and its non-custodial features ensure the safety of user funds
