# kaal:claim:3799320-006

**Claim.** Working with suboptimal layer 1 blockchain solutions that carry high gas fees and low throughput delays the evolution of DAO infrastructure design, because innovation is inhibited by those layer 1 features.

**Type.** failure  **Support.** argued

**Holds when.**

- development anchored to first generation layer 1 networks

**Source quote.**

> Yet, working with suboptimal layer 1 blockchain solutions with high gas fees and low throughput delay the evolution of DAO infrastructure design as innovation and evolution is inhibited through suboptimal layer 1 features.
