One of the primary benefits of layer-2 networks is the increased transaction throughput they can offer. This allows for a higher number of transactions to be processed in a shorter period of time.

Another advantage of layer-2 networks is the reduction in fees associated with Bitcoin transactions. By offloading some of the transactional load, these networks can help to lower the costs for users.

Layer-2 networks also bring the added benefit of programmability through smart contracts. This allows for the creation of more complex and automated transactions, further extending the functionality of the Bitcoin blockchain.
