What is Loopring?
Founded in 2017, Loopring is a layer 2 protocol that was built for the Ethereum network originally to help its biggest issue which is scalability. If you are familiar with using Ethereum you would have come across the insane gas price issues, specifically with protocols like Uniswap.
Now what layer 2 means in terms of looping is essentially that Loopring will take the transactions off chain on their own blockchain, roll up the transactions into one nice transaction and push that up to ethereum. This will reduce the space that is needed to put on Ethereum which will reduce the amount of gas that is needed to pay for these transactions.

The Main focus of Loopring as a layer 2 is to create a modular protocol for anyone to come in and create their own decentralised exchange on top of Loopring. This will provide a unique experience that’s similar to Robinhood, Vanguard or any other exchange. However, doing this at a low cost and in a decentralised manner.
