Vitalik comments on Soneium blacklisting some meme coins: This is an on-chain rule set by enterprise-level L2
ChainCatcher news, Vitalik commented on the incident where Soneium blacklisted some Meme coins on its social platform, stating that Soneium's situation vividly demonstrates the benefits of launching Ethereum L2 for businesses and users. Businesses can make very detailed choices about how much control to retain and give to users. But whatever rules they choose, those are the rules. Everything is on-chain, transparent, and can be audited by third parties.
Developers can also create a system that lets users know they can send transactions on L2 when needed, but there is a significant barrier - the sequencer can restrict but not censor. This is essentially what Sony has done. This is all the free market at work. As an ecosystem, it is important to ensure that:
- A large amount of financial activity occurs in a completely open environment;
- There are enough tools for users to understand the properties of the on-chain environment they are in.
Previous news, Soneium, a Layer2 project by Sony, sparked controversy by blacklisting some Meme coins suspected of infringing intellectual property on the day of its mainnet launch. This led to some tokens being restricted from trading and not being supported on the official block explorer.
