Activating Layer 2 payments takes less than 5 minutes:

    faradpay.enableLayer2();
    
    // 2. Add supported networks to payment options
    paymentOptions.addNetwork('optimism');
    paymentOptions.addNetwork('arbitrum');
    
    // 3. Set default settlement currency
    settings.setSettlementCurrency('USDC');
    
    // 4. (Optional) Configure fee preferences
    settings.setFeePreference('low'); // low/medium/high

Our Layer 2 roadmap includes:

• Q3 2024: zkSync Era and Polygon zkEVM support
• Q4 2024: Cross-L2 swapping at checkout
• Q1 2025: One-click L2 onboarding for new users

"The Layer 2 integration allowed us to accept crypto payments under $5 for the first time. Our digital download sales increased 40% immediately after enabling Optimism payments." - Mark Richardson, CTO of PixelPerfect Assets
