Perps didn’t win because of L2s. They won because someone finally owned their execution layer.

“So the reason to launch your own chain is really one of three things.
First, you want a differentiated experience for your users.
Second, you want to own the economics. You don’t want to be paying rent to someone else. You want those economics to actually become a revenue driver for your company.
And third, you want control. Control over security, privacy, and alignment.
That’s really the decision: experience, economics, or control. If you don’t need one of those, you probably don’t need your own chain.”
- COO @kylejenke
