How is Bitcoin Layer 2 different from Layer 1?

Layer 1 is the original Bitcoin blockchain with a 10-minute block time and high fees during congestion. Layer 2 solutions (Lightning, Stacks, Liquid) are built on top of Bitcoin to process transactions faster (milliseconds) and at lower fees (sats instead of dollars), while still anchoring their security to the original Bitcoin chain.

When should I use the Lightning Network?

Lightning is ideal for small, frequent payments — salary top-ups, tipping content creators, buying coffee. It is not suitable for storing large sums long-term because channels must stay online and carry routing risk. For Vietnamese users, Lightning is commonly accessed via the Wallet of Satoshi or Phoenix wallets.

Is Stacks a true Bitcoin Layer 2?

Stacks is a separate blockchain that uses Proof-of-Transfer to anchor its state to Bitcoin, bringing smart contracts and DeFi to Bitcoin. Some strict Layer 2 definitions consider Stacks more of a sidechain than a rollup, but it remains a popular way to build dApps leveraging Bitcoin’s security.
