Plasma vs Layer 2 Solutions: Key Differences Explained Plasma and Layer 2 both improve blockchain scalability, but they work differently. Plasma uses child chains to process most transactions off the main chain, reducing congestion but requiring exit mechanisms for security. Layer 2 solutions like Rollups, State Channels, and Sidechains enable faster, cheaper transactions while keeping stronger security connections to the main blockchain. In short, Plasma is one scaling framework, while Layer 2 is a broader category of technologies.
