Ethereum, a type of cryptocurrency, is facing a challenge! Many smaller networks (like layer-2s) help Ethereum work faster and cheaper. But these smaller networks don't always talk to each other easily. This makes using them tricky.
- Many smaller networks help Ethereum work faster and cheaper.
- These networks don't always communicate well with each other.
- A new idea, 'based rollups,' might solve this problem.
- 'Based rollups' use Ethereum's main system to help the smaller networks talk better.
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Smaller networks are hard to use together. | 'Based rollups' might fix this. |
| Transactions can be slow and expensive. | 'Based rollups' aim to speed up and reduce costs. |
| Number of Layer-2 networks: | 140 |
This is still new, and there are some things to work out before everyone uses them. But 'based rollups' could be a big improvement for Ethereum!
