L2 Security

Definition

L2 security refers to the mechanisms and guarantees that protect funds and operations on Layer 2 scaling solutions, such as rollups or sidechains. These solutions process transactions off the main blockchain but derive their security assurances from the underlying Layer 1 network. Robust L2 security ensures that assets remain safe and operations are trustworthy, even when transactions occur off-chain. It is critical for user confidence.
