#Sidechain s are blockchains that run in paralel to a Layer-2 blockchain.
The goal: adding scalability and flexibility while reducing gas costs for users and developers.
The primary difference between sidechains and Layer-2s is that sidechains do not inherit the security of the L1 blockchain they are built alongside, L2 chains directly inherit it.
