Why can it sometimes take several days to move coins from Layer 2 back to the Ethereum mainnet?
One detail: ZK Rollups use zero-knowledge proofs to prove to the mainnet that state changes are valid, so withdrawals don’t have to wait through such a long challenge period.
Layer 2 security relies mainly on the Ethereum mainnet: transaction data and results are both recorded on the mainnet. This is the main difference between Layer 2 and sidechains.
Understanding this is more useful than memorizing a pile of jargon. Try to only put in funds you can afford to lose.
$ARB is the governance token of the Layer 2 network Arbitrum. Currently, it’s at 0.1516.
