SheFi Part 2: Understanding Layer 2s through analogies đ§
ETH Problem = Highway traffic Jams. Only 15 - 20 cars per second can pass through.
Layer 2s = Express lanes above the highway. Handle thousands of cars, then re pop it back to main highway.
Rollups = Mailing system
âď¸ Without: Mail 1,000 individual letters (expensive, slow)
â
ď¸ With: Bundle all 1,000 letters in ONE envelope (cheap,fast)
Bridges = Not teleportation!
Your tokens don't actually MOVE between chains. They get:
*Locked on L1 (like putting money in a vault)
*Minted on L2 (issued new tokens of exact amount)
*Unwrapped when you bridge back
ETH's Glow Up = Understanding the infrastructure making crypto accessible
