Learn why Ethereum gas fees exist, what causes them to rise, and how Layer 2 solutions reduce costs while improving speed.

The need for Layer 2 networks has been one of the core approaches of the Ethereum scaling solution because of the continued growth in blockchain usage causing higher fees and network congestions. The Ethereum network supports various DeFi applications, Non-Fungible Tokens, smart contracts, and web 3 applications, but its main network lacks sufficient transactional capacity […]

Rollups execute transactions off chain and then settle them to Ethereum in batches, which separates user perceived confirmation from economic finality.
