In cryptography, Layer 2 means a standalone framework that sits on top of the current blockchain technology. The objective of building or using Layer 2 systems is to solve the challenges that currently face the primary blockchain, namely speed, and scalability.

Special thanks to Justin Drake and Jinglan Wang for feedback In 2014, I made a post and a presentation with a list of hard problems in math, computer science and economics that I thought were important for the cryptocurrency space (as I then called it) to be able to reach maturity.

Privacy and scalability are two of the most prevailent topics in the blockchain industry. Bitcoin, the brainchild of Satoshi Nakamoto offers a decentralized, peer-to-peer, and transparent alternative to fiat currency.

Ethereum, widely regarded as the second generation of blockchains, has had some problems with scalability and controversy around the value of its native ETH coin. Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin is set to end the scalability debate by using cryptography pioneered by Zcash.

Scalability problems plague Ethereum. Often, the Ethereum blockchain is clogged and slow, hardly a surprise given how many projects exist on the Ethereum blockchain though. There could be a new solution within some new practices that have been pioneered within the Zcash network, according to Coindesk: “A form of cryptography pioneered by zcash might help scale ethereum, founder of the platform Vitalik Buterin said on a research forum Saturday.

What follows is an open letter from Jimmy Zhong, co-founder and CEO of IOST, to his team members and shared with Bitcoin Magazine with permission. Recently, I’ve been thinking about an ultimate way of safely storing value — gold, Bitcoin, real estate and power all came to mind.

Coin holder voting, both for governance of technical features, and for more extensive use cases like deciding who runs validator nodes and who receives money from development bounty funds, is unfortunately continuing to be popular, and so it seems worthwhile for me to write another post explaining why I (and Vlad Zamfir and others) do not consider it wise for Ethereum (or really, any base-layer blockchain) to start adopting these kinds of mechanisms in a tightly coupled form in any significant way.
