EVM Layer Two

Definition ∞ An EVM Layer Two refers to a scaling solution built atop the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible blockchain. These protocols process transactions off the main chain, then settle them on the primary layer. This approach significantly boosts transaction throughput and reduces network fees.
Context ∞ The EVM Layer Two ecosystem is experiencing rapid expansion, with various technologies like rollups and sidechains competing for adoption. A key discussion centers on interoperability between different Layer Two solutions and their security models. Future developments aim to achieve seamless user experiences and further decentralization while maintaining the robust security guarantees of the underlying Ethereum network.
