# Dapp Layer The **Dapp Layer** is a Layer-2 scaling solution built on Ethereum, specifically designed to enhance the performance of decentralized applications. It offers high transaction throughput and minimal costs while maintaining the security of the Ethereum mainnet. #### Key features include: * **User-Centric Design:** The Dapp Layer is designed for ease of use. It simplifies full node installation, maintenance, and user interactions, making it accessible to developers and average users. * **Optimized for dApps:** The Layer-2 network provides native payment and governance tools, ensuring that dApp developers can seamlessly manage resources like storage, bandwidth, and computing power. * **Staking and Rewards:** To incentivize user participation and to ensure the network remains decentralized and secure, users can stake assets on the Dapp Layer ($DAPPS) to earn rewards for locking their coins over specific periods. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
