📉 In light of new technologies and rising fees, the Bitcoin ecosystem is changing, highlighting the issue of scalability. The Binance report confirms the urgency of addressing this issue.

Unlike Ethereum, which has 10% of its total value locked in Layer-2 solutions, Bitcoin has only 0.13%.

Projects such as Ordinals, Inscriptions, BRC-20 and Runes show demand for these features, which has led to an increase in average transaction fees from $1.5 in 2022 to $9.5 in 2024.

To improve the scalability of Bitcoin, it is necessary to consider issues such as two-way bridges without intermediaries, and take into account the interests of users, developers and newcomers.

New technologies such as Taproot and BitVM open up new possibilities for the Bitcoin protocols, although they are still in the early stages of development.

With increasing fees and congestion on the Bitcoin mempool, the importance of L2 solutions increases. Significant developments in Bitcoin scalability are expected in the coming months.
