Scaling and programmability solutions built on top of Bitcoin's base layer that extend its functionality while inheriting some degree of Bitcoin's security. Major approaches include the Lightning Network (payment channels), Stacks (smart contracts via Proof of Transfer), Liquid Network (Blockstream's federated sidechain), and ZK-rollups like Citrea (using BitVM for settlement). These solutions address Bitcoin's limited throughput (~7 TPS) and restricted scripting.
