What are Layer-2 Networks? Scaling Blockchains for Everyday Use
MAQ Team 5 min read
As major blockchain networks like Ethereum grew in popularity, the massive influx of transactions caused network congestion, leading to slow processing times and expensive gas costs. Layer-2 (L2) scaling solutions were developed to fix this bottleneck.
How L2s work
An L2 network acts as a secondary layer built on top of the main blockchain (Layer-1). It processes transactions bundled together off-chain, and then submits a compressed summary back to the secure mainnet.
This innovative process slashes transaction costs to fractions of a cent and increases speeds dramatically, making microtransactions and daily mining apps highly viable.
