Onchain vs Layer 2 Solutions
Developers should learn about onchain concepts when building decentralized applications (dApps), smart contracts, or blockchain-based systems that require high security, auditability, and censorship resistance meets developers should learn and use layer 2 solutions when building decentralized applications (dapps) that require high transaction volumes, low fees, or fast confirmation times, such as in gaming, defi, or nft marketplaces, as they address the scalability limitations of layer 1 blockchains like ethereum. Here's our take.
Onchain
Developers should learn about onchain concepts when building decentralized applications (dApps), smart contracts, or blockchain-based systems that require high security, auditability, and censorship resistance
Onchain
Nice PickDevelopers should learn about onchain concepts when building decentralized applications (dApps), smart contracts, or blockchain-based systems that require high security, auditability, and censorship resistance
Pros
- +It is essential for use cases like DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, and supply chain tracking, where data integrity and trust are critical
- +Related to: blockchain, smart-contracts
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Layer 2 Solutions
Developers should learn and use Layer 2 solutions when building decentralized applications (dApps) that require high transaction volumes, low fees, or fast confirmation times, such as in gaming, DeFi, or NFT marketplaces, as they address the scalability limitations of Layer 1 blockchains like Ethereum
Pros
- +They are essential for creating user-friendly and cost-effective applications while leveraging the security of the underlying blockchain
- +Related to: ethereum, rollups
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Onchain if: You want it is essential for use cases like defi protocols, nft marketplaces, and supply chain tracking, where data integrity and trust are critical and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Layer 2 Solutions if: You prioritize they are essential for creating user-friendly and cost-effective applications while leveraging the security of the underlying blockchain over what Onchain offers.
