到2025年3月，一隻pomme de terre越來越大

到2025年3月，在龐大的區塊鏈技術城市中，Pom de Terre越來越大。

In the sprawling digital city of blockchain technology, a pom de terre was getting louder by March 2025. Cryptos have failed because their very separated beginnings include since called Bitcoin and Ethereum victims of their one success.

在龐大的數字城市區塊鏈技術中，Pom de Terre在2025年3月之前變得越來越大。加密蛋糕失敗了，因為他們的開端非常分開，包括自從被稱為比特幣和以太坊的受害者，他們的一項成功。

Their streets, the metaphorical roads of transaction processing, are packed packed, and transaction processing just comes to a halt. Fees rise and users from traders to dreamers are left questioning whether this grand experiment can scale to its promise. Into this crowded narrative enters a humble yet transformative subplot: Layer-2 solutions, which stand on the verge of rewriting the blockchain scalability narrative.

他們的街道是交易處理的隱喻道路，被包裝好了，交易處理就停止了。費用上升，從交易者到夢想家的用戶質疑該大實驗是否可以擴展到其承諾。進入這個擁擠的敘事中，進入了一個謙虛而變革的子情節：第2層解決方案，該解決方案站在重寫區塊鏈可擴展性敘事的邊緣。

A Rocket Network and the Struggle to Scale

火箭網絡和擴展鬥爭

It starts with Layer-1, the base networks that created cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin’s ledger, chiseled in digital granite, and Ethereum’s frenetic agora were built with security and decentralisation in mind, not speed.

它始於創建加密貨幣的基本網絡層-1。比特幣的分類帳（Bitcoin）的分類帳，以數字花崗岩為單位，以太坊的狂熱agora構建了安全和權力下放，而不是速度。

Ethereum, for example, processes only 15 to 30 transactions per second; a whisper against the roar of Visa’s thousands. As dapps, NFTs, and smart contracts poured in, the network broke. Gas fees; the tolls miners are paid skyrocketed, making a simple token swap an expensive ordeal. A gamer minting an NFT or a merchant accepting crypto may find the price tag too high, revealing the uncomfortable reality that blockchain’s base layer wasn’t designed with mass adoption in mind.

例如，以太坊僅處理每秒15至30個交易；對簽證的數千人的吼叫聲。隨著DAPP，NFTS和智能合約的湧入，網絡破裂了。汽油費； Tolls礦工的薪水飛漲，這使簡單的代幣交換成為昂貴的折磨。玩家鑄造NFT或接受加密貨幣的商人可能會發現價格太高，這揭示了一個令人不安的現實，即區塊鏈的基礎層沒有考慮到大量採用。

A New Era Begins: Layer-2 Lands

一個新時代開始：第2層著陸

Instead of carving up the city’s foundations, developers designed Layer-2 solutions; a raised highway that runs over the original blockchain. These systems track transactions off-chain, reducing congestion and cementing their results to Layer-1’s security.

開發人員沒有雕刻城市的基礎，而是設計了第二層解決方案。一條越過原始區塊鏈的高速高速公路。這些系統跟踪鏈接交易，從而減少了交通擁堵並將其結果鞏固到第1層的安全性。

It’s like engineers constructed express lanes above a gridlocked road, allowing traffic to flow freely without abandoning the road below. By March 2025, this method has started to redefine the blockchain space, bringing swiffer, less expensive transactions for a system on the edge.

就像工程師在僵硬的道路上方建造了特快車道一樣，使交通自由流動而不會放棄下面的道路。到2025年3月，這種方法已開始重新定義區塊鏈空間，為系統上的系統帶來了Swiffer，較便宜的交易。

Consider Bitcoin’s Lightning Network, a seasoned Layer-2 contender. Imagine a bustling bazaar: buyers and sellers were once forced to wait for every transaction to be etched into Bitcoin’s slow blockchain, something that could take ten minutes or longer. Now Lightning creates private channels — side corridors where the trades occur instantly. Only the ultimate count reaches the primary chain, as if merchants reconcile accounts at the close of the business day.

考慮比特幣的閃電網絡，這是一個經驗豐富的第2層競爭者。想像一下，一個繁華的集市：買賣雙方曾經被迫等待每筆交易被刻在比特幣的慢速區塊鏈中，這可能需要十分鐘或更長時間。現在，Lightning創建了私人渠道 - 交易立即發生的側走廊。只有最終的計數才能達到主要鏈，就好像商人在工作日結束時和解帳戶一樣。

Ethereum, by contrast, relies upon rollups, which batch hundreds of transactions into a single submission. Optimism and Arbitrum, the main characters here, are like librarians stacking books in tidy piles, slashing away data that is clogging Ethereum’s shelves. Then there are zk-Rollups; zero-knowledge rollups throwing on some cryptographic finery.

相比之下，以太坊依賴於匯總，該匯總將數百筆交易歸入單一提交。樂觀和仲裁是這裡的主要角色，就像圖書館員在整齊的堆中堆疊書籍，削減了堵塞以太坊貨架的數據。然後是ZK滾動；零知識匯總拋出一些密碼量。

Much like a detective sealing evidence before giving a verdict, they prove transactions with minimal revelation, increasing both speed and privacy.

就像在作出裁決之前，就像偵探密封證據一樣，它們證明了交易的啟示最少，增加了速度和隱私。

Health Services and Support Human Resources

衛生服務和支持人力資源

In 2025, Layer-2s seamlessly blend in with real-life scenarios. A cafe owner in Berlin accepts payments in Bitcoin through Lightning, moving dozens of such payments per day, all of which clear in seconds for pennies.

在2025年，第2層與現實生活中的場景無縫融合。柏林的一家咖啡館老闆通過閃電，每天移動數十種此類付款，接受比特幣的付款，所有這些都在幾秒鐘內清楚。

On the other side of the digital divide, in Jakarta a freelance artist with an Arbitrum wallet mints NFTs, avoiding the gas fees on Ethereum that used to eat her earnings. Another Layer-2 titan, Polygon, backs an e-commerce site, where customers pay in crypto instantly, and are astounded by the seamless flow. Gamers, as well, enter play-to-earn worlds on these networks, where they buy and trade virtual goods via microtransactions that once clogged Layer-1.

在數字鴻溝的另一側，在雅加達（Jakarta）是一位自由職業者，帶有仲裁錢包薄荷的nfts，避免了以太坊的汽油費用，這些以太坊用來吃了她的收入。另一個第2層泰坦Polygon支持了一個電子商務網站，客戶立即以加密貨幣付款，並因無縫流而感到驚訝。遊戲玩家也可以在這些網絡上進入遊戲到歐文世界，他們通過曾經堵塞第1層的微交易購買和交易虛擬商品。

Even trailblazers stop and smell the roses: an early stage company is testing an electoral register on Optimism, moving ballots off the blockchain and then pinning results onto the rock-solid Ethereum ledger. These vignettes illustrate the picture’s outsized size—Layer-2 isn’t simply a technical adjustment; it’s a stepping stone to mass utilisation.

甚至開拓者都停下來聞到玫瑰的氣味：一家早期舞台公司正在對樂觀情緒測試選舉登記冊，將選票從區塊鏈上移出，然後將結果固定在岩石固體的以太坊分類帳中。這些小插圖說明了圖片的大小 - Layer-2不僅僅是技術調整；這是大規模利用的墊腳石。

Through the Interpretation of Shadows: The Challenges and Risks

通過對陰影的解釋：挑戰和風險

Every story has its challenges, and Layer-2 solutions are no different. Bridging assets between Layer-1 and Layer-2 is like bounding over a swaying rope bridge to another side of the digital ravine, users have to trust the route they’re taking and a single component failing can lead to disaster.

每個故事都有其挑戰，第二層解決方案也沒有什麼不同。第1層和2層之間的橋接資產就像在搖擺的繩索上界限到數字溝渠的另一側，用戶必須信任他們所採用的路線，而單個組件失敗會導致災難。

Security experts remember horror stories from past chapters, like the bridge exploit in 2022 that cost $300 million, a grim reminder of the stakes. Off-chain processing brings some additional layer of complexity as well; a bug in a Layer-2 protocol could wake up and follow a trail all the way back to the underlying Layer-1, shaking the bedrock in the process.

安全專家還記得過去章節中的恐怖故事，例如2022年的橋樑漏洞，耗資3億美元，這是對賭注的嚴峻提醒。離鏈處理也帶來了一些額外的複雜性。第2層協議中的錯誤可能會醒來，並一直沿著步道一直返回到基礎的第1層，在此過程中搖晃基岩。

Critics mutter that this is a hack, a subplot that side steps deeper Layer-1 flaws. The story wobbles here, weighing promise against peril as developers prop up these altitude-attaining corridors for the long term.

批評家喃喃地說這是一個黑客，一個子圖，側面逐步深度為1層缺陷。這個故事在這裡搖擺不定，隨著開發人員長期支撐這些高度的走廊，使承諾反對危險。
