Great summary! Layer 2 solutions are indeed pivotal for blockchain scalability. Rollups balance cost efficiency with some centralization risks, while sidechains provide independence at a higher cost. Lightning Network adds another layer with off-chain transactions for even faster payments. Understanding these trade-offs helps in making informed decisions.
