Bitcoin, the king of crypto, has always faced a bit of a problem: it's not the fastest or most flexible blockchain out there. Enter Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER), a new Layer-2 solution with a mission to supercharge Bitcoin’s capabilities. With a presale that's already raked in over $1.5 million, it's got...
To address this, Cardano is currently undergoing a major transformation towards improved scalability by making use of Layer-2 (L2) solutions. These developments will improve the network’s speed, privacy, and composability tremendously. Importantly, they lay the foundation for increasingly robust and nimble decentralized finance (DeFi) activity. Cardano’s strategic vision goes much...
Cardano's finally getting serious about Layer-2. After years of hearing only about Hydra as the only scaling solution, we’re now witnessing an entire ecosystem of scaling solutions bloom. Or is this just a facade of true innovation? Or is Cardano flailing hopelessly to keep pace with Ethereum and other chains...
With a mission to scale, Cardano’s not keeping all its eggs in one basket.

Combined with Hydra, Midgard, and other ZK projects, and Gummiworm Hydra’s next-generation features...
Okay, Cardano's going all-in on Layer-2. Hydra, Midgard, zkFold, Eryx, Gummiworm – just like that, we’re crafting the bad-guy-list of a long-lost superhero graphic novel. Is this L2 blitzkrieg really going to save the NFT world? Or are we just getting ready for another wave of Libertarian JPEG selling grifters?...

The project markets itself as the first Layer-2 blockchain developed over the Solana network. Yet despite this major hangup, it has somehow managed to captivate the imaginations...
With scaling bottlenecks and exorbitant gas fees remaining on Ethereum and the recent gas crisis on Solana, Layer-2 protocols are capturing investor interest. Arbitrum, Optimism, and Polygon are far ahead of the rest of the Layer-2 contenders. They are pulling in new rounds of capital and becoming the darlings of...
Aside from the crazy price fluctuations, one of the biggest things for Bitcoin (and really all cryptocurrencies) has been scalability. Yet its transaction speeds are often slow, and fees can be exorbitant, decimating its potential for adoption for everyday transactions. Here come Layer-2 solutions, created to solve these issues. Among...
Solaxy, the first-ever Layer-2 (L2) scaling solution built specifically to solve Solana’s limitations, has already raised over $54 million. The presale ends in less than two days! The mainnet launch is scheduled for July 7th, just around the corner as this project is generating considerable excitement inside and outside of...
