Base layer limits refer to the inherent constraints on the core blockchain network’s capacity and speed. These restrictions dictate the maximum number of transactions or data that the foundational layer can process within a given timeframe. Such limitations are often a consequence of design choices prioritizing decentralization and security. They directly influence transaction fees and confirmation times on the primary chain.

Base layer limits are a constant subject in cryptocurrency news, particularly when discussing network congestion or high transaction costs. Debates often focus on scaling solutions designed to circumvent these constraints, such as layer-two protocols. Developments in base layer improvements or alternative architectures frequently make headlines as the community seeks greater efficiency.
