Ethereum Layer 2s Are Growing Fast — Here's Why It Matters
About this episode
Our Senior Research Analyst, Nick, explains the recent growth of layer-2 (L2) solutions on the Ethereum blockchain. Examples of L2s are Optimism (OP) and Arbitrum (ARB).
Among other things, Nick talks about the significance of L2 networks increasing their demand for Ethereum blockspace. Continued adoption of L2s is crucial to Ethereum's plan to scale to the masses while keeping transaction fees low.
