Plasma chains in Ethereum
Plasma is a scaling solution for the Ethereum blockchain proposed by Vitalik Buterin and Joseph Poon in 2017. Plasma aims to enhance Ethereum’s scalability by creating a framework for child….
Sidechains explained
As blockchain ecosystems grow, scalability, transaction speed, and interoperability become critical challenges. Popular chains like Ethereum face high gas fees and network congestion, prompting the need for complementary solutions. Sidechains….
Evolution of Layer 2 solutions
The blockchain industry has rapidly evolved from simple peer-to-peer payment systems to a complex ecosystem of decentralized applications (dApps), financial services, gaming platforms, and more. However, this growth exposed a….
Introduction to layer-2 solutions (Polygon, Optimism)
Layer-2 solutions are technologies that are built on top of existing blockchain networks (Layer-1) to improve their scalability, transaction speed, and overall efficiency. The concept of Layer-2 solutions emerged to….
Ethereum Blockchain overview
Ethereum is a decentralized, open-source blockchain platform that extends the core ideas of Bitcoin but with significant enhancements, primarily by introducing smart contracts—programmable logic that runs on the blockchain. Launched….
