Layer-2 & scaling networks

Layer-2 networks move execution off the base layer while inheriting its settlement — a design that makes the sequencer, the bridge and the rollup contract each a counterparty in their own right. This hub indexes the scaling networks on record, with their relation to the base layers they post to.
