The growth of Layer 2 networks such as Arbitrum and Optimism is crucial for Ethereum's future success.

These networks offer faster transactions and lower fees than the main Ethereum network.

L2 transactions have grown significantly since 2021, suggesting that future DeFi, NFTs, and meme coins will likely be based on these scalable networks.

Main Ethereum network has scaling challenges resulting in high gas fees and congestion, which L2 networks can alleviate.

The Ethereum roadmap emphasizes the importance of L2 networks for enhancing efficiency, security, and interoperability.

Ethereum aims for continuous improvement, with a focus on security and privacy.

Despite scalability challenges, Ethereum is the leading smart contract platform and L2 networks are seen as key to resolving scalability issues and maintaining Ethereum's leadership in the dApp market.
