How Does Layer-Two Scaling Aim to Reduce Gas Fees?

Layer-two solutions, such as rollups (Optimistic and ZK), process transactions off the main blockchain (Layer-One) and then batch the resulting data back to L1 in a compressed form. By executing most transactions off-chain, they significantly increase the overall transaction throughput and drastically reduce the cost per transaction for the end-user.
