About L2BEAT

L2BEAT is a analytics and research website about Ethereum layer two (L2) scaling. We provide a comparison of the various Ethereum L2 systems available today. An important differentiator between L2BEAT and similar sites is that L2BEAT is committed to educating users and lists only projects that match our narrow definition of L2. We define layer two as a chain that fully or partially derives its security from layer one Ethereum so that users do not have to rely on the honesty of L2 validators for the security of their funds. Because of our commitment to education we present various non-trivial metrics aside from Total Value Locked (TVL). We have carefully examined each L2 project to determine the inner workings of their technology as well as the associated risks. L2BEAT was created to provide transparent and verifiable insights into emerging layer two (L2) technologies which, in line with the rollup-centric Ethereum scaling roadmap are aimed at scaling Ethereum.

Gasp

Gasp delivers omnichain liquidity, empowering efficient trading across blockchain networks through a modular rollup secured by Ethereum. Gasp garners the best crypto economic security from Ethereum through EigenLayer for cross-chain swap finality, making it one of the first DEX's built on EigenLayer. Deposits and liquidity are protected by rollup escape hatches, guaranteeing asset withdrawal in all circumstances. Gasp is the first Ethereum native cross-rollup protocol. Swap across any Ethereum L2s with ease.

cBridge

cBridge is a multi-chain network that enables instant, low-cost and any-to-any value transfers within and across Ethereum’s layer-2 chains, Ethereum main chain and in the future, other layer-1s, and layer-2 on top of those other layer-1 chains. Instant entering and existing layer2 from/to Ethereum layer-1 without long delay. Instant liquidity transfer between multiple different layer-2 networks on Ethereum, including Optimistic Rollups, such as Optimism, Arbitrum and PoS side chains such as Matic and SKALE, without going through underlying layer-1 blockchain. Two-way bridging between layer-2 on one blockchain and a completely different layer-1 blockchain without going through the corresponding root layer-1 at all. cBridge v1.0 supports cross-chain transfer across all EVM-compatible chains, including some EVM-compatible layer-1 chains, different layer-2 scaling solutions on top, such as Optimistic Rollup, ZK Rollup and sidechains.

Raiden Network

The Raiden Network is an off-chain scaling solution, enabling near-instant, low-fee and scalable payments. It’s complementary to the Ethereum blockchain and works with any ERC20 compatible token. The Raiden project is work in progress. Its goal is to research state channel technology, define protocols and develop reference implementations. The Raiden Network is an infrastructure layer on top of the Ethereum blockchain. While the basic idea is simple, the underlying protocol is quite complex and the implementation non-trivial. Nonetheless the technicalities can be abstracted away, such that developers can interface with a rather simple API to build scalable decentralized applications based on the Raiden Network. The basic idea of the Raiden Network is to avoid the blockchain consensus bottleneck. This is done by leveraging a network of payment channels which allow to securely transfer value off-chain, i.e without involving the blockchain for every transfer.
