Kite
KITEKite introduces the Sprites protocol, a payment channel solution designed to improve the scalability of blockchain transactions by reducing the collateral costs associated with routing payments across multiple channels.

QuarkChain
QKCQuarkChain is a blockchain platform designed to address scalability issues by utilizing a multi-layered architecture and sharding technology.

Celestia
TIACelestia is a modular blockchain that specializes in data availability, allowing other blockchains and rollups to post transaction data to it rather than handling storage themselves. It uses Data Availability Sampling so nodes can verify data without downloading all of it, keeping hardware requirements low while scaling throughput. The TIA token is used for data storage fees, staking, and governance. Celestia's modular design has influenced the broader blockchain industry's shift toward separating execution from data availability.

Sui
SUISui is a decentralized smart contract platform that leverages the Move programming language for advanced asset management and transaction scalability.

Mantle
MNTMantle is a Layer 2 solution built on Ethereum that enhances scalability through a modular framework and advanced data availability techniques, supporting decentralized applications with high efficiency and security.

Arbitrum Nitro
ARBArbitrum Nitro is a second-generation Layer 2 blockchain protocol designed to enhance throughput and efficiency of Ethereum by using an optimistic rollup approach.

Lumia
ORNLumia is a next-generation Layer 2 blockchain platform that leverages advanced technologies like Polygon CDK and NearDA to solve liquidity fragmentation and scalability issues in the blockchain space.

Optimism
OPOptimism is a layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum, aimed at reducing transaction costs and increasing throughput while maintaining Ethereum's security and decentralization.

Bonk
