What is Layer 0, Layer 1, Layer 2, Layer 3? on blockchain
Do you know that a blockchain system actually has many layers? Each layer has different functions. Let’s get to know each layer! What is the function of each blockchain layer?
What is Blockchain Layer 0?
As for Layer 0, it contains the components that make the blockchain become reality. It is a technology that enables Bitcoin, Ethereum and other blockchain networks.
Therefore, these components consist of Internet, hardware and connections Layer 0 is very important in order to be able to use the system enables blockchain to connect with each other, fixing scaling issues
of Layer 0. In order to access layer 0, you must have its original token This layer is considered as “The Internet of Blockchain”
Exemples of Layer 0
Polkadot, Cardano, Avalanche and Cosmos
What is Blockchain Layer 1?
Layer 1 is general Blockchian system such as Bitcoin and Ethereum Layer 1 process and summarize various transactions on its own blockchain with Proof of Work or Proof of Stake, but there are disadvantages in network scaling when more people use blockchain causing the need to increase network efficiency thus causing higher fees and longer transaction times.
Exemples of Layer 1
Bitcoin, Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain (BSC) and Litecoin
What is Blockchain Layer 2?
Blockchain Layer 2 is a solution of Layer 1 part that has a scaling pain point fixing problem of transaction congestion when many transactions occur at the same time, Layer 2 gains popularity in the past few years due to its relatively high efficiency in fixing scaling in the Proof of Work network
Exemples of Layer 2
Optimism, Arbitrum, Polygon and StarkNet
What is Blockchain Layer 3?
Layer 3 is for making applications to be ready to use by users conveniently and decentralized. This layer usually used to build dApps it is a blockchain-based application developed
Exemples of Layer 3
Uniswap and Maker
We hope that we get to know the function of each layer on the blockchain better. You would notice that each layer is different and it plays a different role.
But the important thing is each layer tries to come up with solutions that takes place within the blockchain so that users can be more efficient use the Blockchain system
