Layer 0 Blockchain

Layer 0 blockchain is the underlying infrastructure that connects and supports multiple blockchains, enabling communication and interoperability between them.

Layer 1 Blockchain

Layer 1 blockchain is the base network of a blockchain system that processes transactions and provides security without relying on another chain.

Layer 2 Blockchain

Layer 2 blockchain is a secondary protocol built on top of a Layer 1 chain to improve scalability, reduce fees, and speed up transactions.

Layer 3 Blockchain

Layer 3 blockchain refers to application-level protocols built on top of Layer 1 and Layer 2, focusing on user-facing apps and interoperability between systems.

Blockchain Layers

Blockchain layers are the different levels of a blockchain ecosystem, typically including Layer 1 (base network), Layer 2 (scaling), and Layer 3 (applications).

Scalability

Scalability is the ability of a blockchain or system to handle increasing numbers of transactions or users efficiently without performance loss.
