Among the most promising tokens in Layer 2 ecosystems for 2024, the following projects stand out:

Arbitrum #ARB - This project uses optimistic rollup technology to improve throughput and reduce transaction costs on the Ethereum network. Arbitrum is one of the largest L2 networks in terms of total value of blocked funds (TVL) in decentralised finance (DeFi).

Optimism #OP - Similar to Arbitrum, Optimism applies optimistic rollups to scale Ethereum, maintaining high security and smart contract functionality.

Immutable X #IMX - A zk-rollups-based solution focused on gaming and NFT, it provides near-instant transaction confirmation and zero gas fees, making it ideal for web gaming and NFT trading.

#dYdX - Decentralised Perpetual Contract Exchange that uses a proprietary L2 blockchain platform to maximise scalability and functionality. The dYdX platform supports leveraged trading and has significant trading volume.

Loopring #LRC - The project utilises zk-rollups to provide high throughput and secure transactions. Loopring supports automated market makers (AMMs), exchange order books and payment solutions.

These projects represent leading developments in L2 solutions focused on improving scalability, transaction speed, and reducing the cost of interactions in the mainstream
