Multichain protocols and cross-chain bridges

A bridge is a structure that facilitates the transfer of funds and information between different chains. The market recognizes three groups of chains:

L1 chains are the well-known blockchains, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. It is called Layer 1 as the core team generates a layer of solutions over the foundation layer to increase scalability. An example of the evolution of L1 is the Ethereum merge, which occurred in September 2022.
L2 chains are integrations that run on top of a blockchain to improve specific aspects, often focusing on scalability. These scaling solutions allow the main chain to offload data to a parallel architecture, processing it there and saving only the results on the main chain. Successful L2 chains include Optimism, Arbitrum, and Polygon zkEVM.
Sidechains are new blockchains that are connected to a major blockchain. For instance, Rootstock is linked to Bitcoin, enabling EVM smart contract programming...
