Blockchain technology has attracted massive interest due to the relevance of the solutions it offers. As this interest grows, so does the need to improve the operational efficiency of blockchain networks. In response, Layer 2 scaling solutions have emerged as efficient options. This is particularly true for so-called Layer 1 blockchains such as Ethereum. Thanks to Layer 2 scaling solutions, the challenges associated with Layer 1 blockchains have now been overcome. However, the growing adoption of Layer 2 solutions has given rise to a complex and competitive landscape. A dynamic marked by the emergence of several projects proposing varied approaches to solving scaling problems. At a time when the market for Layer 2 solutions is facing numerous challenges, an analysis of the key dynamics of this market is essential.

Since its launch in 2015, Ethereum has enjoyed a remarkable rise. The platform has established itself as the crypto ecosystem's benchmark for Layer 1 infrastructure. The company's leadership is nevertheless significantly contested. Indeed, with the increased dynamism of the technology market globally, new Layer 1 projects are regularly emerging. Their ambition is to rival or even dethrone Ethereum in this sector. To achieve this, these initiatives propose technological improvements. They also provide enhanced scaling capabilities. Operational advances that generally translate into lower transaction fees for users. In short, they want to do better than Ethereum. But can they? The truth is, it's extremely difficult to predict with any certainty which project(s) will be able to supplant Ethereum. Admittedly, many of these crypto initiatives are not lacking in relevance.

With that in mind, we'll take a closer look at Layer 1 blockchain technology and the particularities of the one developed by Ethereum. We'll then compare some of the crypto industry's most popular Layer 1 projects with Ethereum's.Pour se faire, ces initiatives proposent des améliorations technologiques.
