Layer 1 and Layer 2 Scaling in Blockchain
The two families of scaling in blockchain are Layer 1 and Layer 2. Layer 1 scaling aims to improve the blockchain itself, while Layer 2 scaling involves creating protocols that sit atop the blockchain and utilize it in more innovative ways to ensure the same level of security as a blockchain.

Summary
There are two types of scaling for blockchains: layer one and layer two. Layer one involves improving the blockchain itself through proof of stake and sharding, while layer two involves protocols that sit on top of the blockchain to provide better security using the blockchain in more intelligent ways.
