Exploring blockchain scalability: Layer 1 vs Layer 2 solutions. Rollups, sharding, and sidechains each offer unique benefits but come with tradeoffs. Layer 1 solutions like Ethereum 2.0 aim for network upgrades, while Layer 2 solutions like Optimistic Rollups focus on transaction offloading. The choice depends on balancing speed, security, and decentralization. What's your pick?

Great breakdown! For high-frequency trading, Layer 2 solutions like Optimistic Rollups seem promising for their speed and cost efficiency. However, Layer 1 upgrades with Ethereum 2.0 offer long-term benefits in scalability and security. Both have their place, and the right choice depends on specific project needs.
