Layer 2 technology enhances Ethereum's scalability by offloading transaction processing from the main Ethereum blockchain (Layer 1) to secondary layers. These solutions, such as rollups, state channels, and plasma, enable faster and cheaper transactions by processing large numbers of transactions off-chain, while periodically settling results back on Ethereum's main chain. This reduces congestion and gas fees, improving throughput without compromising security. As a result, Layer 2 solutions significantly increase Ethereum’s capacity to handle more users and transactions, making the network more scalable and efficient for decentralized applications (dApps) and other use cases.
