Definition

Layer-2 impact refers to the effects that scaling solutions built on top of a base blockchain have on its performance, usability, and economic model. These solutions, such as rollups or state channels, aim to increase transaction throughput and reduce fees without compromising the security of the underlying Layer-1. Their influence is measured by improved network efficiency and broader application accessibility. It addresses the scalability limitations of mainnets.
