Layer Two Impact

Definition

Layer Two impact refers to the effects that scaling solutions built on top of a base blockchain have on the overall network and its users. These solutions, such as rollups or sidechains, aim to improve transaction speed and reduce costs by processing operations off the main chain. The impact includes enhanced throughput, lower fees, and potentially altered security assumptions for specific applications. Understanding this influence is vital for assessing the scalability trajectory of blockchain networks.
