🌌 Arbitrum Orbit Layer 2
Corn is built on the Arbitrum Orbit (Nitro) stack, a highly secure and efficient Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum. This enables Corn to leverage Arbitrum’s powerful rollup technology, enhancing scalability, lowering transaction costs, and speeding up execution, all while benefiting from Ethereum’s security.
Layer 2 Scaling and Ethereum’s Rollup-Centric Roadmap
Layer 2s are scaling solutions designed to enhance the efficiency of Layer 1 blockchains like Ethereum. They increase transaction throughput and reduce costs by executing transactions off-chain or in a secondary environment before settling them on Ethereum’s main chain. While Layer 2s operate as distinct networks with their own execution environments, they inherit Ethereum’s security either through cryptographic proofs (as in rollups) or economic mechanisms (as in state channels and plasma).
Ethereum is moving toward a rollup-centric roadmap, where rollups like Arbitrum process transactions off-chain, allowing Ethereum Layer 1 to focus on security and data availability. This approach is designed to improve Ethereum’s scalability and efficiency while preserving decentralization, reinforcing the critical role of Layer 2 solutions in the network’s future.
