What is 'Hydra' in Cardano?

Hydra is Cardano's layer-2 scalability solution, designed to address transaction speed and network capacity. It uses state channels to process transactions off the main chain, potentially allowing for millions of transactions per second. Hydra heads can be opened between multiple participants, enabling fast, low-fee transactions while still leveraging the security of the main Cardano blockchain.
