Layer 2 efficiency refers to the speed and cost-effectiveness of operations on scaling solutions built atop main blockchains. This concept measures how effectively Layer 2 protocols, such as rollups or sidechains, process transactions and execute smart contracts, aiming to alleviate congestion and high fees on the underlying Layer 1 network. High Layer 2 efficiency means faster transaction finality, significantly reduced costs, and greater throughput, making decentralized applications more accessible and scalable for widespread use. It directly addresses the limitations of base layer blockchains.
Context
Layer 2 efficiency is a central theme in discussions about blockchain scalability, with news frequently reporting on advancements and adoption rates of various Layer 2 solutions. The current environment sees intense competition among different Layer 2 technologies to offer the best combination of speed, security, and cost. Continued improvements in Layer 2 efficiency are critical for the mainstream adoption of decentralized applications and the overall growth of the Web3 ecosystem.
