Layer 2
Layer 2 (L2) is a secondary protocol built on top of an already existing blockchain system. The main aim of such protocols is to boost the transaction speed and overcome scaling difficulties faced by major cryptocurrency networks like Ethereum and Bitcoin.
While the main chain, layer 1, guarantees security, the 2nd layer provides high throughput, so thousands of transactions can take place.
