Cryptocurrencies have traveled a very long distance since they initially gained use, to being the foundation of decentralized finance, digital assets, and Web3 technologies. Greater adoption, though, brings with it an equally difficult issue that is presently impacting the ecosystem: scalability. Blockchain networks, particularly those such as Ethereum, are facing growing congestion, high transaction fees, and reduced processing. All these stresses are putting crypto infrastructure on its long-term scalability and responsiveness thresholds. With all these stresses, Layer 2 technologies have been the game-changer in redefining scalability and performance for blockchain networks.
