Could you please elaborate on the approximate cost of a Layer 2 Bitcoin transaction? I've been hearing a lot about the benefits of Layer 2 solutions in terms of scalability and reduced congestion on the main blockchain. However, I'm curious to know the financial implications, specifically how much it typically costs to conduct a transaction using a Layer 2 solution. Is it significantly cheaper than on the main Bitcoin network? Are there any variable factors that can affect the cost? Any insights you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
