Layer 2 networks and Ethereum gas optimization work hand-in-hand, not against each other.

L2s handle the volume—they take on massive transaction throughput that the main chain can't process alone. That's their job: expanding capacity where it matters most.

Meanwhile, gas efficiency tools smooth things out at the base layer. They don't compete; they complement. Better gas means faster, cheaper core transactions. More L2 activity means less congestion everywhere.

Think of it this way: L2s are about moving transactions at scale. Gas optimization is about making each move count. Two different problems. Two different solutions. Both essential.
