How Layer-2 Solutions Are Helping to Scale Ethereum
Faiz is here, and sorry for the late posting because I was not here. As you know, we have known Ethereum as a defi apps platform, but now it has a protocol for NFTs too.  Ethereum is the most popular platform, but along with this, problem is connected with it too because of the high gas fees, and this is a big issue, even though I am not using Ethereum for its high gas fees, and most users give this excuse as to why they are not using Ethereum. Because of this issue, layer-1 was struggling, so the solution is layer-2, which does not harm the core aim and value of Ethereum. Ethereum's main focus is security adn decentralization too. 




![faiz 1971 thumbnail photopea (54).png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/faiz1971/23u5vo1SxisGLkf6cr3yZnW3B5coDNjCXLU14xJNnWz2Z4edC98MzHg9AhRN99Bnh5Lty.png)

## The Scaling Dilemma

Ethereum has high demand, and you know it is not built for it, and it can't handle this. mass adoption like big companies, master card, Visa is not the cup of tea for Ethereum because it has a limit which 15 transactions per second. So this is the problem/issue with the base layer in Ethereum. Do you know platforms like Visa perform lots of transactions per second? High gas fees on the Ethereum platform, and not only this, slow transaction is the dilemma. 

Now, Ethereum 2.0 is going to solve this issue, but as most of us know, the full implementation is still going on.  So, a layer-2 solution is a good answer to such a problem, and it will solve this. 

## What Are Layer-2 Solutions?

I want to give you an example of roads. Layer-1 is like a busy national highway, and layer-2 is going to become an expressway.  Here we are gonna discuss the multiple solutions that layer-2 will provide. 

- **Rollups**:  Optimistic and another one is zk-rollups are examples of it. It is a bunlde of lots of transactions in one. That is why it is called rollups.

- **State Channels**: There are micropayments used especially in gaming and also for rapid transactions. Good thing it is settled to on-chain when it is highly necessary, otherwise it transacts off-chain

- **Plasma**: Plasma creates smaller child blockchains, and it sounds like something unique, but it's true, and all this happens to handle the transaction. 


So these are solutions that layer-2 is going to provide to the users. 

## Real-World Impact

Do you use blockchains like Optimism and Arbitrum? If yes, then you can see that the gas fee is now in cents, but before, there were the highest fees in dollars. Now this is directly beneficial to NFT artists for daily minting, traders who trade assets daily, and also to the developers who building dapps. Here they experience faster speed, and also the cost is lower.

So, without impacting Ethereum's core value, decentralization, and trust, Ethereum is going to solve these issues with layer-2.

## Beyond Scalability

layer-2 means innovation, and it is going to help Ethereum with the fastest transactions and lowest fees, and these things are now possible in Ethereum, and with these things, Ethereum is going to be a heaven for the users.  Talking about the use cases that will take birth on this blockchain are services like micro-insurance, real-time gaming economies, and these things were not possible with layer-1.

## Conclusion

Layer-2 will make mass adoption happen on Ethereum technically and financially without compromising trust and decentralization.

This is really a great insight, I must say. In the past, a lot of cryptocurrency enthusiasm abandoned ethereum, and I was inclusive because of the hike in the gas fees. I remembered a time I wanted to trade my alpaca coins, I don't know if I get the name correctly since it has been long, and I was demanded to pay even more than what I can gain so I just decided to overlook it. But now, with layer 2, I'm sure most of the problems are going to be solved. Like myself, I prefer other altcoin on Solana, etc, because it is easy to manage.

The same thing happened with me when I joined multiple airdrops on Ethereum, but the results were higher gas fees than the airdrop rewards. lolz
