L2BEAT Description
L2BEAT is an analytics and research website that focuses on Ethereum layer two (L2) scaling. We offer a comparison of all the available Ethereum L2 systems. L2BEAT differs from other similar sites in that it is committed to education and only lists projects that meet our narrow definition of L2. Layer two is a chain that partially or fully derives its security form layer one Ethereum. This allows users to not rely on L2 validators to ensure the security of their funds. We offer other metrics than Total Value Locked (TVL) because of our commitment to education. Each L2 project has been carefully reviewed by us to understand the technology and the risks. L2BEAT was established to provide transparent and verifiable insight into emerging layer two (L2) technology. These technologies, which are in line with the rollup-centric Ethereum scaling plan, are aimed at scaling Ethereum.
