A wallet holding over 104 million DOGE valued at around $20 million emptied its entire balance straight into Coinbase late Saturday night. The move, first picked up by Whale Alert, wasn’t just large.

Layer-1 (L1) refers to the base protocol layer of a blockchain, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, while Layer-2 (L2) refers to protocols that operate on top of Layer-1 to enhance throughput, reduce fees, and offload congestion. This guide explores how both layers contribute to the future of blockchain infrastructure. In this guide: Layer-1…
