The first layer 2 blockchain is a secondary framework or protocol built on top of an existing blockchain system, such as Ethereum or Bitcoin, to improve the speed, scalability, or introduce new functionalities to the network. It operates independently but relies on the security of the underlying blockchain. Examples of layer 2 solutions include state channels, sidechains, and rollups.
