Arbitrum dominates Ethereum Layer183 with a TVL of 2 billion TVL, representing 35% of total TVL.

Base ranks second with 22 billion TVL and 11.4 billion TVL, accounting for 1% of total TVL.

The Ethereum Dencun update introduced fee stabilization, which reduced the average transaction fee for a Layer 2 platform by 99% .

The Ethereum ecosystem has demonstrated excellent performance despite criticism. The total blockchain value (TVL) has increased by 205% since the beginning of the year to a record ¥510 billion thanks to the Level 2 platform. This indicates a significant increase in value and growing investor interest in Ethereum assets.

According to L2BEATS, the Ethereum Layer-2TVL increased 205% to ¥510 billion from 2023/11 to ¥1,166 billion.

Ethereum Layer2 solutions have played a key role in increasing the scalability of the network by transferring transactions to the secondary chain. This reduces the load on the main Ethereum network and potential network congestion. It also reduces latency and transaction costs.

However, some industry experts have expressed concern that L2 could become cannibalized, reducing the revenue of the main Ethereum networks and limiting the growth of ether prices.

The two main Ethereum Layer2TVL participants are Arbitram and Base, although they are above the record level of 2 billion Ethereum, which is 510 billion yen. As the leader of Layer 2, Arbitram alone holds over 18.3 billion blockchain funds (TVL) and therefore provides an impressive 35% of the total TVL.

In addition, the network based on Coinbase L2 is the 114th largest network with a total capacity of 2 billion TVL. Thus, it accounts for 2% of the total TVL L2 volume. In the week to 11/28/2018, the total value of blockchain arbitrage (TVL) increased by more than 12% , and Base increased by 11.4% .

September 26, Base recorded 106 transactions per second (TPS), and its total turnover exceeded $1,100 billion for the first time. In addition, Base’s total transaction volume recently surpassed 1 billion, which has been greatly aided by the ongoing hype around memecoin during this bull cycle.

After the Ethereum merger in 2022, when the Ethereum blockchain turned into a PoS network, a major upgrade called Dencun was made earlier this year in 2024/3.

Nick Dodson, co-founder and CEO of Fuel Labs, said it played a key role in stabilizing rates on Tier 2 networks.He sent a text message:

When it comes to EIP-4844, a lot of people talk about lowering rates, but it’s more about stabilizing rates. It’s really less about lowering fees and more about expanding capacity and scale

several Tier 2 Ethereum networks, including Starknet, Optimism, Base and Zora OP Mainnet, have seen average transaction fees drop 99% since the update was implemented.

Since the election, CME interest in ether futures has nearly doubled.
