Ethereum Layer 2 networks are where most serious blockchain development is happening in 2026. They deliver Ethereum’s security guarantees at transaction costs measured in fractions of a rupee — making consumer-scale blockchain applications economically viable for the first time. As a leading Layer 2 blockchain development company in India, we help enterprises and startups build high-performance, low-cost Web3 solutions. Solutions1313 has production deployments on Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, and Polygon zkEVM. When a client asks whether to build on Ethereum, Polygon, or Layer 2, our answer is based on their specific requirements and verified deployment experience — not sales positioning.
The Layer 2 landscape has matured significantly. Arbitrum hosts the largest DeFi TVL among L2 networks. Base (built by Coinbase) has the most accessible user onboarding for mainstream users through Coinbase wallet integration. zkSync Era leads in native account abstraction support. Polygon zkEVM provides Ethereum ZK security at competitive costs. Each has genuine strengths for specific use cases — choosing between them is a real technical decision, not a coin flip.

Why Build on Ethereum Layer 2?
Layer 2 networks process transactions in 1 to 3 seconds at under INR 1 per transaction, while inheriting Ethereum’s security through their settlement mechanism. For DeFi protocols, this means user positions are secured by Ethereum’s validator set while users pay a fraction of mainnet gas. For consumer DApps, this means mainstream transaction economics without the security trade-offs of standalone sidechains.
The ecosystem advantages of Layer 2 deployment extend beyond cost and speed. Arbitrum and Base have established DeFi liquidity through Uniswap, Aave, and other major protocols that have deployed on these networks. New protocols launching on established L2 networks can access this liquidity and user base immediately rather than bootstrapping from zero.
Our Ethereum Layer 2 Development Services
Arbitrum Development
Arbitrum One has the largest DeFi TVL among Ethereum Layer 2 networks and the most established developer ecosystem outside of mainnet. We develop DeFi protocols, DApps, and NFT platforms on Arbitrum with access to deep Uniswap, GMX, and Aave liquidity. Arbitrum Nova (for gaming and social) offers even lower fees for high-volume applications that can tolerate slightly less security than Arbitrum One.
Base Development
Base is Coinbase’s Ethereum Layer 2, built on the OP Stack. It offers the most accessible fiat on-ramp integration of any L2 through Coinbase Pay, making it the strongest choice for consumer applications targeting mainstream users who may have crypto in Coinbase already. We build consumer DApps and NFT platforms on Base that take advantage of this onboarding advantage.
zkSync Era Development
zkSync Era uses zero-knowledge proof verification for transaction settlement and provides native account abstraction at the protocol level. As a result, users can deploy smart contract accounts directly without requiring an additional account abstraction implementation layer. Therefore, we build on zkSync for applications that benefit from both native account abstraction and ZK-based security guarantees.
Cross-Layer Bridge Integration
We develop cross-layer bridge integrations that allow users to move assets between Ethereum mainnet and L2 networks. We handle the UX complexity of bridge interactions — showing estimated bridge time, fee comparison, and status tracking — so users can manage their funds across networks without understanding the underlying bridge mechanics.
Bridges: Arbitrum Bridge, Base Bridge, Hop Protocol, Across

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Layer 2 development cost in India?
Layer 2 development costs are broadly similar to Ethereum mainnet development. For example, a typical DApp on networks such as Arbitrum or Base ranges from approximately INR 2,00,000 to INR 10,00,000. In contrast, a more complex DeFi protocol generally falls between INR 10,00,000 and INR 40,00,000. However, the primary cost advantage of Layer 2 networks lies in end-user transaction fees, which are typically under INR 1, compared to Ethereum mainnet’s variable and often higher gas costs.
Which Layer 2 should I build on?
For DeFi applications requiring deep liquidity, Arbitrum is often preferred. In contrast, for consumer-facing applications where Coinbase ecosystem integration is important, Base is a strong choice. Meanwhile, for applications that benefit from native account abstraction, zkSync offers key advantages. Finally, for projects prioritizing ZK-based security with low-cost Ethereum-aligned finality, Polygon zkEVM is well suited. We cover this decision-making framework in the free project roadmap session.
What is the difference between Optimistic Rollups and ZK Rollups?
Optimistic Rollups (such as Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base) assume transactions are valid by default, with a 7-day fraud-proof window required for withdrawals to mainnet. In contrast, ZK Rollups (including zkSync, Polygon zkEVM, and Scroll) generate cryptographic proofs that mathematically verify each transaction, thereby enabling near-instant finality on Ethereum. Overall, ZK rollups are generally considered more secure, while Optimistic rollups currently maintain a larger ecosystem.
Can I deploy on multiple Layer 2 networks simultaneously?
Yes. In fact, all major Layer 2 networks are EVM-compatible; therefore, the same Solidity code can be deployed across them without modification. As a result, many DeFi protocols deploy on multiple L2 networks to maximize liquidity access and expand user reach.
What is account abstraction on Layer 2?
Account abstraction (ERC4337) enables smart contract accounts as the primary user wallet — controlled through email, biometric, or social login rather than private key management. zkSync Era has native AA support. Furthermore, ERC-4337 works seamlessly across all major Ethereum Layer 2 networks through independent bundler infrastructure. As a result, we implement Account Abstraction (AA) for applications targeting mainstream users, enabling a frictionless experience where users do not need to understand or manage seed phrases.
How do users bridge assets to Layer 2?
Users can bridge assets through official bridge contracts or third-party bridges such as Hop Protocol and Across. In general, official bridges are regarded as the most secure choice; meanwhile, third-party bridges offer faster transaction times by utilizing liquidity pools. We integrate bridge functionality into application frontends so users can move funds without leaving your product.
