  L2 protocols, such as the Lightning Network, improve the scalability of cryptocurrencies by enabling off-chain transactions. These protocols allow users to conduct transactions directly between each other without the need for every transaction to be recorded on the blockchain. This reduces the load on the blockchain and increases transaction throughput. Additionally, L2 protocols use techniques like payment channels and state channels to minimize the number of on-chain transactions required, further improving scalability.

  L2 protocols are like express lanes on a highway for cryptocurrencies. They provide a way for users to conduct transactions faster and more efficiently by bypassing the congested main blockchain. With L2 protocols, users can enjoy lower fees and faster confirmation times, making cryptocurrencies more practical for everyday transactions. It's like upgrading from a single-lane road to a multi-lane highway, allowing more cars (transactions) to flow smoothly without causing traffic jams.
