Blockchain scalability: Layer 1 vs Layer 2. Layer 1 solutions like Ethereum 2.0 aim to upgrade the core protocol, enhancing throughput. Layer 2 solutions, such as Rollups and State Channels, offload transactions to sidechains. Each approach has tradeoffs—Layer 1 changes are complex and slow, while Layer 2 can scale quickly but may face trust issues. Choosing the right path depends on community consensus and technological advancements.

Great summary! Both Layer 1 and Layer 2 have their merits and challenges. Ethereum 2.0 promises significant improvements but requires time and coordination, whereas Layer 2 solutions like Rollups offer immediate scalability benefits albeit with trust assumptions. The ecosystem will likely see a mix of both paths evolving together.
