Explaining "L3" (Layer 3) blockchains simply
Most of us are just getting comfortable with Layer 2s making our crypto life faster, right? But here’s the kicker: some projects are already building a whole new level on top of those L2s!
Think of it like this: Ethereum (L1) is the main highway, and Layer 2s (like Arbitrum or Optimism) are the express lanes built for faster traffic.
But imagine a super-exclusive, dedicated lane just for your specific carpool app, running on that express lane.
That's a Layer 3! These L3s are built on top of L2s, often with their own unique rules, all designed to make one particular app or use-case incredibly fast and super-customized.
We might think L2s solve everything, but sometimes even they aren't specific enough for niche needs. 🚗💨
Therefore, L3s are like hyper-focused mini-blockchains, perfect for specialized tasks like a gaming blockchain needing ultra-low fees and instant transactions, or a private enterprise chain.
The big lesson here is that L3s unlock even more customization and efficiency, pushing the boundaries for specific applications that need tailored performance beyond what L1s or even L2s can offer.
It’s like getting a bespoke suit for your favorite dApp! 🤩
