This video dives deep into the exciting world of Layer 3 blockchain technology, featuring an interview with Vince Yang, CEO of zkLink. The main takeaway is that while Layer 2s solved some problems for Layer 1s, they introduced new challenges like fragmentation and still weren't cheap or fast enough for mass adoption. zkLink steps in as the first "aggregated Layer 3" aiming to unify fragmented liquidity across various Layer 2s, offering significantly lower transaction costs and higher performance for demanding applications.

Here's what you need to know about Layer 3s and zkLink:

* Layer 3s are the next evolution in blockchain scaling, built on top of Layer 2s, which in turn sit on Layer 1s like Ethereum.
* Why Layer 3s are crucial: Layer 2s, while faster and cheaper than Layer 1s (like Ethereum's $18 transactions), still aren't enough. Transactions on Layer 2s might cost 20 cents to $1.20, which is too much for micro-transactions in gaming (like opening a lockbox) or high-frequency trading. Layer 3s aim to bring costs down
