L1s include CEX branded public chains like BSC, Cronos, and Heco, interoperability chains like Cosmos and Polkadot, and public chains like Solana, Avalanche, Terra, and Fantom.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sidechains<\/strong> are Ethereum expansions compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), built mainly to deal with excess traffic on the network. Examples include Ronin, which is specifically designed to address NFT transactions, and Polygon, a blockchain network that builds and links to Ether by providing a common framework.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Layer 2<\/strong> solutions complement Ethereum by processing partial transactions (called rollups) off-chain. The two main types of rollups are Optimistic rollups and ZK rollups.
