1/ What is Layer 2 (L2)? Imagine the main blockchain (like Ethereum) as a small coffee shop with one barista. When too many people (transactions) order at once, the line gets long and drinks get pricey (high gas fees). L2 is like adding a second counter outside the shop to serve more people quickly without crowding the main barista!

2/ How does L2 work? L2 takes a bunch of transactions off the main blockchain, handles them separately, and then sends a quick summary back to the main chain. It’s like having a helper who does most of your work and just tells you the important stuff!

4/ Why do we need L2? As more people use crypto, blockchains get super crowded—like a road during rush hour. L2 helps make things faster and cheaper while keeping the blockchain safe and fair. It’s key to making crypto easy for everyone to use!

5/ Do we have enough L2 solutions? We’re getting there, but it’s not perfect yet! Optimistic Rollups are easy to build but slower to finish. ZK-Rollups are faster but harder to make. Plasma works well for some things but has its own issues. New ideas like Validiums and zkEVMs are coming to make L2 even better!
