  "Combining Rollups and sharding gives a 10,000X increase in scalability (for Ethereum)"
Vitalik Buterin, Lex Fridman Podcast #188, June 2021
Ethereum today is undeniably the top smart contract blockchain by market capitalization, trusted by top developers building Defi applications, NFT projects and much much more. But high gas fees to use the network have inhibited its growth and use in a variety of situations. Layer 2 solutions for Ethereum such as Arbitrum, ZKSync and Starkware have all reached billion dollar valuations or more in funding rounds this year as they seek to solve this problem.
In this deep dive into the Layer 2 ecosystem, we invite top thinkers and practitioners in the Layer 2 ecosystem to share their analysis on the challenges and promise of Layer 2. Tune in to find out what Layer 2 is and how it promises to change the game for Ethereum, leading to a whole new world of applications that will define the next generation of the blockchain.
