Waiting for Ethereum 2.0, but Layer-Two Solutions Are Needed Now

The Ethereum network has been dealing with some congestion issues, the most recent of which resulted in its transaction fees ballooning in June 2020….The network congestion even led to an increase in the maximum gas allowed per block on the Ethereum blockchain, enabling more transactions to be processed but also meaning that the size of the blockchain continues to grow — another scalability issue that Ethereum 2.0 sharding aims to solve….OMG focuses on enterprise use and claims to be the “only production-ready scaling solution for the Ethereum blockchain,” providing business-to-business solutions for companies looking to transact on the Ethereum blockchain….So, there are several solutions that can help Ethereum deal with its current issues, but can they be used now?…Some of the layer-two solutions aim to provide their services on multiple blockchain networks in the future and even enable decentralized cross-blockchain transfers.
