Great video! Really appreciated how clearly you explained the different Ethereum Layer 2 solutions like Arbitrum and Optimism. It's exciting to see these advancements improving scalability and efficiency. If you're interested in cross-chain solutions, Gasp offers fast, gas-free, and MEV-protected swaps, making transactions even smoother. Keep up the awesome content!

L2's are everywhere now. You can find Arbitrum, Optimism, BSC, etc etc.

But in case for its gaming-specialized. I would prefer Saakuru Network, especially for their free gas fee

Great video. So out of the 5 or 6 projects listed, which one does everybody like the most? I know optimism recently had a nice rally.

What will be the future of L2 after ETH merge?

[wadewilson]

I went with Metis. I'm not saying I won't grab some of those others.

I get how it's cheaper to transact on l2 but then u have to bridge back to l1 so how do u save money ?

ICP will be the number 1 Ethereum Layer 2. ICP is a beast of a blockchain in its own right, but will also help Ethereum to scale by integrating with it and becoming an Ethereum layer 2. Just like Vitalik Buterin stated - "ICP & Ethereum are sister networks".

Smart Aliens is an Open Source game about funny Aliens that live together in the Andromeda galaxy, built on Arbitrum with a goal to bring more happiness to the world. 0:03

have you seen $SAS, #Aliens? I believe it is a great project.

you didn't explain how it works. You didn't explain technical part and without it everything you said just doesn't make any sence.

Ethereum was always a dog crap project. It is just run through advertising. Layer 2 increases security ? 😂
