Ethereum Layer-Two Solutions Lack Real World Usability, Says Skale CTO

[Nostoman]

Cointelegraph spoke with Konstantin Kladko, the CTO of the Skale Network, a blockchain platform based on Ethereum (ETH).

Kladko holds a PhD in Physics from the Max Planck Institute and a Masters in Computer Science from Stanford. Over the course of a long career that includes the Los Alamos National Laboratory and Sun Microsystems, he also contributed to the making of Java.

While Kladko is undeniably an Ethereum fan and believer — referring to it as “an unstoppable bulldozer” — he often goes against popular community narratives, especially regarding “layer-two” scaling.

As Cointelegraph previously reported, in 2019 the Ethereum community largely pivoted away from Plasma, a proposed network of sidechains that would have taken a large portion of the computational burden away from mainnet. A class of layer two-solutions named Rollups took their place, with two variants named zk-Rollup and Optimistic Rollup.
