Layer-2 scaling solutions are built on top of existing blockchains like Ethereum to improve transaction speed and reduce costs. These solutions, such as Optimistic Rollups and zk-Rollups, process transactions off-chain while maintaining the security of the main chain. By moving the bulk of data processing off the main Ethereum chain, Layer-2 solutions significantly reduce congestion, leading to faster and cheaper transactions. This is essential as Ethereum continues to scale and handle more decentralized applications (dApps) and user activity. Layer-2 solutions also help alleviate high gas fees, which can otherwise make small transactions uneconomical, thereby improving the overall user experience and increasing Ethereum’s adoption for various use cases.
