Layer three refers to a conceptual layer built atop existing blockchain networks, primarily focused on cross-chain interoperability and application-specific functionalities. It extends beyond layer-two scaling solutions by enabling communication and value transfer between different blockchains. This layer aims to create a more unified and interconnected ecosystem for decentralized applications. Its purpose is to facilitate broader network communication.
Context
Discussions about layer three often appear in news related to the future of blockchain interoperability and the vision of a “web of blockchains.” While layer two addresses scaling within a single chain, layer three seeks to resolve the challenge of seamless interaction across multiple chains. Development in this area is still nascent, but it represents a significant direction for expanding the utility and reach of digital assets.
The integration of a specialized Layer 3 blockchain enhances operational efficiency and establishes a scalable foundation for a strategic digital asset treasury.
