Exploring Blockchain Scalability: Layer 2 vs. Layer 1. Layer 2 solutions like Rollups and Channels improve speed and lower fees without altering the core blockchain. Layer 1 upgrades, such as Ethereum 2.0, aim to expand the base protocol itself. Each approach has tradeoffs: Layer 2 is quicker to implement but limits some functionalities, while Layer 1 changes are more foundational but riskier and take longer. Which path do you think will lead to a more scalable future? Share your thoughts!
