Course description

As blockchain networks like Ethereum and Bitcoin gain popularity, they face serious challenges related to scalability, transaction fees, and network congestion. To address these issues without compromising the decentralization and security of the base blockchain (Layer 1), developers have introduced Layer 2 solutions.

Layer 2 technologies operate on top of the primary blockchain, enhancing speed and reducing costs while preserving the security of the underlying network.

In this course, you will learn what Layer 2 solutions are, how they work, the types of technologies used, and how they are shaping the future of blockchain scalability.

What will I learn?

  • Gain a clear understanding of Layer 2 scalability solutions and how they function.

Requirements

  • A solid understanding of blockchain fundamentals.
  • Basic knowledge of how blockchain networks like Ethereum and Bitcoin function.
  • Familiarity with smart contracts and decentralized applications (DApps) will be helpful but not mandatory.
