What are Layer 3 Networks? Improving Functionality and Interoperability
Blockchain infrastructure has evolved to incorporate layer 1 and layer 2 networks. A more recent development is the emergence of so-called “layer 3” networks. So what are layer 3 networks, and how do they differ from layer 1 and layer 2 networks? What is a layer 3? To understand what layer 3 networks are, we first need to look at the layer 1 and layer 2 networks that they sit atop. Layer 1 networks are the base layer of blockchain infrastructure, and include blockchains such as Ethereum or Bitco...
