The world of cryptocurrency is evolving rapidly, but the "Blockchain Trilemma"—balancing security, decentralization, and scalability—remains a challenge. While Ethereum is the king of DeFi, its high gas fees and network congestion often frustrate users. This is where Layer 2 (L2) solutions come in as the ultimate game-changer.
Layer 2 refers to a secondary framework or protocol built on top of an existing blockchain (Layer 1). Its primary goal is to solve the speed and cost issues of the mainnet. Think of Layer 1 as a busy highway and Layer 2 as an express flyover that clears the traffic.
