The Symbiotic Relationship Between Layer 1 and Layer 2
The relationship between Ethereum's Layer 1 and Layer 2 solutions, such as Arbitrum, is fundamentally symbiotic. Layer 2s depend on the security and fast block times provided by Layer 1, while Layer 1 benefits from the increased activity and scalability that Layer 2s offer. This mutual reliance is crucial for both layers to reach their full potential, as enhancements to Layer 2 not only improve its functionality but also serve to uplift the entire Ethereum ecosystem. Therefore, any success or growth achieved by a Layer 2 solution can be seen as a win for the Ethereum network as a whole.
