Top Layer 2 Blockchains 2025

List of Top Layer 2 Blockchains

Explore the top 11 Layer-2 blockchains (L2s) in the Web3 space. The Web3 Wiki allows you to learn more about the top L2s and the major chains with L2s, from Ethereum, to Polygon, BNB Chain, Base, Optimism, Solana, and many others.

Layer-2 blockchains are scaling solutions designed to enhance the efficiency of primary blockchains, or Layer-1 blockchains. Operating atop a base blockchain, L2s improve transaction speed and cost without compromising the decentralized nature of the network. These solutions work by handling transactions off the main chain, decreasing the load and congestion on the primary network. This results in faster and more affordable transactions, making blockchain technology more practical for everyday use and large-scale applications. Layer-2 blockchains are key in addressing the scalability challenges faced by popular blockchains.  L2s can support  wider Web3 adoption and accelerate the use of blockchain technology across industries.
