The alt-season is always accompanied by a sharp increase in transactions. It is at this moment that it becomes clear which solutions can scale and which cannot. Layer 2 solutions find themselves at the center of this process as they handle the main flow of activity.
When users massively transition to DeFi, NFT, and trading, fees on L1 quickly rise. L2 solutions address this problem: they process transactions outside the base network, maintaining its security while reducing costs for users.
In previous market cycles, liquidity moved to where it was faster and cheaper. In the current architecture, this means a shift of activity to L2. They become the working environment of the alt-season, while L1 serves as the level of settlement and trust.
### Why L2 Wins in Growth Phase
- Significantly lower fees
- Higher throughput
- Best user experience
- Scalability without L1 overload
For the trader, this means less friction and more opportunities. For the investor — understanding where real activity will be concentrated, rather than just price increases.
### Investor's Conclusion
Layer 2 is not a supplementary element, but a key beneficiary of the alt-season. This is where liquidity, users, and applications concentrate when the market enters a phase of active growth.
