According to @alice_und_bob, Layer 2 (L2) teams can address common scaling and security challenges—such as the need for zk proofs, fraud proofs, 7-day exit windows, and alternative data availability bridges—by utilizing Polkadot core technology instead of more complex or resource-intensive solutions. This highlights Polkadot’s (DOT) potential as a scalable, cost-effective platform for developers, which could increase demand for DOT and impact its price performance in the crypto market.
