L2beat

Basics

• Website that gives information around Layer 2 technologies.

History

• From The Defiant (26-10-2022):

"When Maker was considering whether to expand to Layer 2 blockchains such as Optimism and Arbitrum, it needed to better understand how those blockchains worked. The ensuing project eventually spun off from Maker and became L2 Beat — a website that lists myriad Layer 2 blockchains, the amount of money they hold, and the security assumptions they make."
