Next generation layer 2 for Ethereum dApps. Use your favorite tools and scale your dApp at the lowest cost. Arbitrum is a suite of Ethereum scaling solutions that enables high-throughput, low cost smart contracts while remaining trustlessly secure
Aztec is building blockchain encryption without trade-offs.
Their advanced zero-knowledge cryptography means applications can be efficient, private, and secure.
Blast is a unique Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) platform that offers native yield for ETH and stablecoins, such as its own USDB. The yields are generated from ETH staking and Real-World Asset (RWA) protocols, which are then automatically passed back to users. This L2 is designed from scratch to incorporate these yields natively, making it EVM-compatible and an optimistic rollup. It introduces a higher baseline yield for users and developers, creating opportunities for new Dapp business models not possible on other L2s.
dYdX is a leading decentralized exchange that currently supports perpetual, margin trading, and spot trading, as well as lending, and borrowing. dYdX runs on smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain, and allows users to trade with no intermediaries.
L2BEAT is a research website for Ethereum layer two scalability solutions.
Ethereum Layer-1 is expensive.
How much does it cost to use Layer 2?
Loopring is an Ethereum Layer-2 scaling protocol. It allows for building high-throughput, low-cost, non-custodial AMMs, orderbook exchanges, and payment applications on Ethereum by leveraging Zero-Knowledge Proofs.
Based on the spirit of Optimistic Rollup, Metis is building an easy-to-use, highly scalable, low-cost, and fully functional Layer 2 framework (Metis Rollup) to fully support the application and business migration from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0. Its scalable protocol supports a wide range of use cases, including yield farming, DEX trading, and powering the gig economy via dApps that offer cheap and fast micropayments.
Mode is the Modular DeFi L2 building the Superchain alongside Optimism.
The goal of Mode is to empower developers and users to grow an ecosystem of world-class applications and be directly rewarded for their contribution.
Mode builds new onchain economic systems to enable developers to scale their applications, provide higher yields for users. If you have ever deployed to any EVM chains you can deploy to Mode quickly and easily.
Optimism is a low-cost and lightning-fast Ethereum L2 blockchain.
Polygon is a protocol and a framework for building and connecting Ethereum-compatible blockchain networks
zkSync is a trustless protocol for scalable low-cost payments on Ethereum, powered by zkRollup technology. It uses zero-knowledge proofs and on-chain data availability to keep users' funds as safe as though they never left the mainnet.
