Why does it sometimes take a week to transfer funds from a Layer 2 back to the mainnet?
First, a quick definition: Arbitrum and Optimism are both Optimistic Rollups, while ZKsync and Starknet are ZK Rollups.
How they work: Layer 2 security relies primarily on Ethereum’s mainnet. Data and proofs ultimately end up on the mainnet, which is an important difference from independent blockchains.
$ARB and $OP are the governance tokens of Arbitrum and Optimism, respectively. Currently, 0.1735.
Only invest what you can afford, and leave yourself some room.
