When blockchain infrastructure becomes invisible to users, that's when real adoption begins.
This is exactly what Layer 2 solutions are achieving right now. By abstracting away gas mechanics and dramatically boosting transaction throughput, these platforms unlock what consumer-grade user experience actually means in Web3.
Look at what's happening with projects leveraging these scaled networks. Users get seamless transactions, lower fees, and performance that starts to rival traditional apps—without ever thinking about the underlying blockchain plumbing. That's the inflection point.
The infrastructure isn't disappearing because it's gone. It's disappearing because it finally works well enough that nobody has to care about it anymore. And that's precisely when mainstream adoption kicks in.

You're right, the true beginning is only when the infrastructure disappears.

I'm tired of the term "ngl Layer 2"... The real test is whether users can get started instantly when the wallet is cold-started.

Well said, only when infrastructure is invisible can the user experience take off. L2 is indeed working on this.

NGL Layer 2 really hit the mark this time; user satisfaction is the key to success.

That's right, the true beginning is when the infrastructure becomes invisible. But frankly, there are still too many people struggling with gas fees and haven't experienced this seamless feeling.

NGL Layer 2 is still a bit laggy right now. When the day comes that we can't see the infrastructure at all, we'll all be old.

Sounds almost too good to be true. Is L2 really that seamless now? The on-chain data I’ve seen still shows quite a few users abandoning it due to cross-chain bridge costs... It seems like infrastructure has to be "invisible" before it's considered successful, but that logic itself feels somewhat circular.

Layer 2 is really saving this ecosystem, finally no need to explain to friends what gas fees are anymore.

Honestly, L2 solutions should have been popularized long ago. The gas fee issues have scared away so many newbie users...

Really, L2 is just like this—users don't care about the underlying layer at all. As long as costs are low and interactions are fast, that's enough. This is the right path for Web3.
