Ethereum can scale with off-chain/on-chain solutions like zk-rollups. With zk-rollups off-chain state can have the same integrity as being on-chain.

  I don't buy into these second layer solutions. They are still limited in terms of scalability (they just push the limit back a bit) and operational complexity tends to get out of control and that makes them much more vulnerable to exploits (especially DoS attacks which attempt to prevent or delay state changes and attacks which try to roll-back state changes).

    With opportunistic rollups on the OVM you are using a second layer with thousands of TPS that leverages the exact same smart contract L1 code. No added complexity with acceptable performance for known use cases and it works today (It was shipped a week ago so still fairly new). https://medium.com/ethereum-optimism/ovm-deep-dive-a300d1085f52 https://medium.com/ethereum-optimism/ovm-deep-dive-a300d1085...

    ZK-Roll-Up add no complexity. The settlement happens entirely on-chain, so the same from the perspective of outside parties as regular transactions. The off-chain portion is not needed for outside parties to verify the validity of transactions. And zk-Roll-Up pushes up scalability to 1,500 transactions per second, which is entirely adequate for site-wide adoption of Ethereum-based tokens by Reddit.
