Layer 2 tokens remain underdogs in 2022 as the spotlight was stolen by Layer 1 coins, according to a note from Kaiko Research.
What Happened: The research firm built a basket of top Layer 1 coins (L1) such as Solana (SOL), Terra (LUNA), Cardano (ADA), Avalanche (AVAX) and BNB (BNB).
For the purposes of comparing with Layer 2 (L2) tokens, the researchers made a similar basket with dYdX (DYDX), Loopring (LRC), MetisDAO (METIS), Boba Network (BOBA) and Polygon (CRYPTO: MATIC).
