Exploring Blockchain Scalability: Layer 1 vs. Layer 2 Solutions. Layer 1 (e.g., Ethereum 2.0) focuses on enhancing the base protocol for faster transactions. Layer 2 (e.g., Lightning Network, Rollups) uses off-chain methods to handle more operations without burdening the main chain. Each has tradeoffs—Layer 1 offers security and compatibility but faces implementation challenges. Layer 2 boosts speed and efficiency but may compromise decentralization. Choose wisely based on your needs.
