Discover how Ethereum Layer-2 (L2) scaling solutions work. Learn how off-chain networks scale Ethereum while inheriting its robust mainnet security.

均可实现。

*Translation:*

The solution available to us right now is Layer-2 (L2) scaling. The core architectural concept of Layer-2 is to build specialized networks on top of the Ethereum mainnet (Layer-1). These secondary layers directly inherit the security, decentralization, and finality of the underlying Ethereum base layer, while offloading the heavy lifting of transaction processing and computation to off-chain environments. By moving these operations off-chain, users can achieve near-instantaneous transaction confirmation speeds and drastically reduced transaction fees. At the same time, the functional capabilities remain equivalent to the Ethereum base layer—allowing users to perform standard operations such as token transfers, decentralized trading, asset staking, and smart contract interactions seamlessly.
