Blockchain consulting challenges with Ethereum scaling assumptions

Blockchain consultants highlight that Ethereum-based projects often overlook the long-term costs of scaling decisions. Clients frequently assume Layer 2 (L2) solutions will fully resolve gas issues, but challenges like data availability, bridging complexity, and liquidity fragmentation remain underappreciated. Balancing user experience with decentralization trade-offs is critical, especially in financial applications, where small architectural choices can significantly impact costs and adoption.
