About BitcoinL2Map

We made this to track the hyper-growth in the Bitcoin ecosystem across rollups, sidechains and state-channels and present in a clean consumable format. Our goal is to compile and publicly showcase data for everyone to make their own assumptions, research and analysis on Bitcoin L2s.

We believe in a strict no-maxi mindset, and want to contribute to a healthy growing bitcoin ecosystem #WAGMI
