the thing i learned earliest in my crypto journey is that to really really scale a decentralized network, you have to avoid consensus. that's what drove me to L2 scaling. L1s can support agreeing up to a certain number of bytes per second, and hopefully that's a high number on a geodistributed validator set. but to go higher, think 1M-1B payments per second that anchor on a blockchain for security, you need to leverage the offchain world and use the L1 for settlement and coordination. that can be an L2 like an Ethereum rollup or a validium, or a channel. it can also be a shard, in the traditional database sense although that proved to be difficult for many reasons. i am excited to finally see the physical limits of blockchains to be hit, so that the offchain tech we've iterated on for years flourishes even more than it has already.
