Pronouns DAO

GM family… I used to hear “Layer 2” and just nod like I got it, truth is, I didn’t.

It sounded like one of those crypto buzzwords people throw around to sound smart.

But yo… once I got it, it clicked.
It’s where the real fun happens bro! 
Like low fees, fast moves, and no stress testing wild ideas.

Look at @base  @optimism @zora 
Not just L2s, these are digital playgrounds.

Which L2 do you rock with heavy?

Tag a builder or project that’s making noise out there.

Under this post I had questions like 
Difference between L2 and L3 and also an explanation of what L2 is.... 

So I'll be giving my answer I'm one shot. 

So here is a short 🧵👇

I want to really make this simple. 

So let's take for example a busy road (Layer 1). Too many cars, traffic is crazy, and it’s slow.

Building @knowempire — where people trade skills & build projects together
|| Learning in public || Helping others grow without money.

So, a new faster road is built on top of it to help ease the traffic. 

That’s Layer 2 (L2), what L2 does is that it helps the main road work better by handling some of the load.

Understood? 

Now, let’s say that even the new road (L2) is getting a bit crowded because people love it.

Ethereum is the world computer. The universal platform for cryptocurrencies, blockchain apps, stablecoins, and decentralized technologies.

Playing “The SIMS Pets” except this feels real. Cannelle is dog. Cruella is cat. I am mother.

So, someone builds an even smaller shortcut road on top of the second road, now that’s Layer 3 (L3). 

This one is designed for special trips, like delivery bikes or emergency vehicles, fast, specific, and efficient.

So:

Layer 1 = The main road (e.g. @ethereum , @base )

Layer 2 = A faster helper road built on it (e.g. @optimism  @arbitrum , @base  itself)

Layer 3 = An extra shortcut for niche stuff (like games, creators, or learning platforms) built on L2. 


Each layer is helping the one below to work better and faster.
