L1 vs L2. Was chatting with a founder this morning. 

Does it matter if a new AI project is an L1 or an L2? 

The project's core is not to develop a better blockchain, but to use a blockchain to help with AI economics.

Having your own L1 feels like you have more sovereignty, more decentralization, etc. But it's also a lot more work. Nodes, validators, etc. You are also kinda on your own island.

L2 saves you all that work. And doesn't seem to have much value leakage to the L1 you are on (like ETH). You get to use the DEX, perps, existing tools, and the community.

Is L1 cooler than L2 or the reverse? Old topic, but wondering if sentiment has changed or not.
