Hello frens,

Layer 2 solutions are gaining significant traction and are crucial for the mass adoption of blockchain technology. Captured with on-chain metrics, the increasing user engagement highlights the immense potential of L2 solutions. $PROM is at the forefront, implementing innovative technologies to drive this growth.

Let’s dive into how L2 solutions are transforming the blockchain landscape! 🧵👇

What are Layer 2 Solutions?

Layer 2 solutions are protocols built on top of existing blockchain networks (Layer 1) to improve scalability, transaction speed, and cost efficiency. They operate off-chain or utilize sidechains to handle the bulk of transactions, alleviating congestion on the main chain and significantly enhancing performance. This makes blockchain more practical for everyday use.

As blockchain adoption grows, the volume of transactions increases exponentially. This surge can lead to slower transaction times and higher fees on Layer 1 networks, making them less efficient and user-friendly. Layer 2 solutions address these issues by providing faster, cheaper, and more scalable alternatives that maintain the security and decentralization of the main chain. These solutions are essential for the sustainable growth of blockchain technology.

Examples of Layer 2 Solutions

Some prominent examples of Layer 2 solutions include:

- zk-Rollups: Bundle multiple transactions into a single proof, ensuring efficiency and security.

- Optimistic Rollups: Process transactions off-chain and submit results to the main chain, assuming validity unless challenged.

- State Channels: Enable multiple off-chain transactions between parties, recording only the final state on the main chain.

Prom’s zkEVM: A Leading Layer 2 Solution

Prom’s zkEVM (Zero-Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine) leverages zk-Rollup technology to enhance scalability and transaction speed while maintaining high security. zkEVM processes numerous transactions off-chain, consolidating them into a single proof for the main chain, drastically reducing congestion and costs.
