Layer 2 Scaling: Latest Progress and Future Trends
Layer 2 decisions should start from the product workflow: transaction frequency, settlement expectations, bridge risk, account abstraction needs, and compliance review. For most business products, the right answer is not the fastest chain on paper, but the chain that offers stable tooling, predictable liquidity paths, and a clear operator model.
What to evaluate
Optimistic rollups remain attractive where ecosystem liquidity and operational maturity matter. ZK rollups are improving quickly, especially for proof-heavy and privacy-aware use cases. App-specific chains are useful when transaction economics or custom governance are central to the business.
