Layer 1 (L1) → The main blockchain itself.

Examples: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, Cardano.

Their native coins are used for transaction fees, network security (staking/mining), and governance.

Layer 2 (L2) → A secondary network built on top of an L1 to improve speed and reduce cost.

Examples: Polygon (MATIC), Arbitrum (ARB), Optimism (OP).

Their coins are often used for governance, staking, or paying fees within the L2.
