L1 - Layer 1 can be thought of as the main blockchain. When most people refer to the blockchain they are referring to L1. L1 is where blocks are created and validated. With the Ethereum blockchain, Layer 1 is the Ethereum mainnet. With the Flow blockchain, Layer 1 is the Flow mainnet. View our blockchain layers article for more.

L2 - Layer 2 is a blockchain that sits on top of a Layer 1 mainnet. Work from Layer 1 is offloaded onto Layer 2 to handle transactions, bundle them together and then send what can be thought of as a summary of transactions back to the mainnet, L1. View our blockchain layers article for more.
