In a High-Fee Environment, What Is ‘Transaction Batching’?

Transaction batching is the process of grouping multiple individual transactions into a single, larger transaction. This is often done by Layer 2 solutions or specific protocols to reduce the overall cost per individual transaction.

By submitting one transaction to the main chain, the total gas fee is amortized across all batched transactions, leading to significant cost savings for users.
