Definition ∞ Layer two staking involves participating in a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism on a layer two scaling solution, rather than directly on the main blockchain. This approach aims to enhance scalability and reduce transaction costs associated with staking by processing validation tasks off the primary chain. It allows for more efficient and accessible participation in network security and governance. This method typically leverages the security of the underlying layer one.
Context ∞ News frequently covers the development and implementation of layer two staking solutions as blockchain networks seek to address scalability limitations. Discussions often center on the security trade-offs and economic incentives offered by these off-chain staking mechanisms. The increasing adoption of layer two solutions is a critical trend for improving the overall efficiency of decentralized networks. Future innovations will likely further optimize these staking models for broader user participation.
