Patex Network is a layer 2 Ethereum blockchain, a fork of Optimism. It will support a centralized and public infrastructure that facilitates the issuance and development of CBDCs in LATAM. Patex Network aims to become a liaison between regulators and users, and grow to be the biggest layer 2 in Latin America. As a Layer 2, Patex Network is designed to solve scaling issues, with faster speeds and lower fees, while inheriting the security of Ethereum.
