Layer 3 (L3)

Layer 3 networks are often referred to as the application layer where decentralized applications (DApps) are built and operate. These layers are built on top of Layer 2 solutions, which in turn are constructed over Layer 1 blockchains, enhancing scalability and functionality. Layer 3 networks allow for customization tailored to specific applications, like gaming or finance, providing specialized environments that Layer 2 might not fully support. They offer benefits like improved privacy, interoperability between different blockchain networks, and better performance for specific use cases. Essentially, Layer 3 helps in deploying applications that can interact across various blockchains more efficiently, making blockchain technology more versatile and user-friendly.
Layer 3 networks focus on building a more secure, interoperable, and scalable blockchain infrastructure in order to handle more transaction volume while connecting various blockchains and facilitating seamless communication between them.
