Over the last year, we have seen chains launch or announce upcoming launches as L1s, while other chains, which have operated as L1s for many years, have chosen to migrate and become Ethereum's L2s. In this panel, we will ask experts what the security tradeoffs are of launching a chain as L1 vs L2. Is this really true that L2s "inherit" security from Ethereum, and how does this decision impact DeFi protocols and users?
