Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions aim to address scalability and transaction speed limitations in the Bitcoin blockchain.
These projects are built on top of the Bitcoin blockchain and increase scalability by processing transactions outside the main chain.
While Ethereum Layer 2 solutions focus primarily on scaling the Ethereum smart contract blockchain, Bitcoin Layer 2 projects aim to scale the main blockchain, which lacks an Ethereum-like virtual machine, and offer programmability features.
