Ethereum Layer-2 solutions, which aim to improve the network’s scalability and reduce gas fees, are gaining significant traction.
Projects like Arbitrum, Optimism, and zkSync have seen rapid adoption as users and developers seek more efficient ways to interact with the Ethereum network.
These Layer-2 solutions use various techniques, such as rollups and zk-proofs, to process transactions off-chain while maintaining the security of the main Ethereum blockchain.
As Ethereum continues to face congestion and high fees, Layer-2 solutions are becoming increasingly important for enabling scalable decentralized applications (dApps) and DeFi protocols.
This trend is expected to continue as Ethereum transitions to its Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus with the Ethereum 2.0 upgrade.
