Description
State Channels is an open-source, layer-2 project aimed at scaling blockchain applications efficiently by facilitating secure, private, off-chain execution of smart contracts and financial transactions. Operating on Ethereum, it allows for high-transaction throughput and low latency in applications ranging from payments to gaming by moving the bulk of transactions off the main chain. Recent efforts have been focused on standardizing Ethereum's State Channels projects to ensure interoperability across the ecosystem, enhancing user and developer experience by avoiding the fragmentation of standards. This unification initiative, backed by years of research and development, signifies a major step towards mainstream adoption of blockchain by enabling instant, low-cost transactions across a fully interoperable ecosystem of State Channels applications.
