Mapping out layer 2 systems – Drawing to understand Rollups projects being developed on layer 2. We will focus on two main technologies Rollup and sidechain which are divided into 3 parts.
In the era of DeFi boom, the limitations of the Ethereum network are more obvious than ever. Long processing speed, exorbitant cost, etc. all are greatly affecting the user experience.
As a matter of fact, solutions to overcome the disadvantages of Ethereum are increasingly noticed and one of the outstanding solutions is layer 2.
Layer 2 is a solution to reduce transaction processing pressure on the original blockchain by processing transactions on a second layer, thereby improving speed and minimizing transaction costs.
Current main layer 2 solutions include Rollups, Plasma, Channels, and Sidechains. Each solution will provide a different throughput and have different advantages and disadvantages.
Below the author will list the projects being developed on layer 2 along with the types of bridges being developed on them.

There are currently two prominent projects using Optimistic Rollups: Optimism and Arbitrum.
This is a layer 2 project for Ethereum using an Optimistic Rollups solution. You can see more about Optimistic here.
1. Bridge
One limitation is that the current solution requires a long time (about 7 days) to withdraw assets. However, recently Optimism announced a partnership with MakerDAO and created a DAI bridge, allowing for fast asset withdrawal.
2. Hop
An exchange that helps transfer assets between networks using rollups and from layer 1 to layer 2 using rollups currently, the testnet platform supports Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism and xDAI.
3. Projects using Optimism:
Is a layer 2 project for Ethereum using an Optimistic Rollups solution. Currently, the project is still in the testnet stage.
