Throughput = The total amount of Gas spent per second. More simply the amount of bandwidth that has been used.
Layer 2s have more value locked in ETH than Stablecoins

ETH $10.92B vs Stablecoins $10.65B

Crazy to think that @base is on track to double the Throughput of the whole Layer 2 space by itself in less than a year with these weekly Throughput hikes.

Throughput = The total amount of Gas spent per second. More simply the amount of bandwidth that has been used.

📜 Scroll is launching its token - but what are people doing onchain?

While most Gas is spent on DeFi we have seen an increase in the % of total fees being spent on Utility (such as Contract Deployment and Identity).

Seeing spikes in NFT Gas Fees on Arbitrum - Past 30 days

Top Contracts:
@layer3xyz Cubes $17,412
@arbitrum Infinite Rainbows $6,388
Blobs are crazy cheap!

There have been spikes but not for a while. With further upgrades to blobs planned it might take a while for L2 Throughput to impact these costs.

If crypto has taught us anything exponential growth can take people by surprise - Time will tell.
General Purpose Layer 2s vs Specialist Layer 2s

Over half the L2s we cover are "General Purpose" (14/21) which account for 97.9% of weekly active addresses!

Will the dominance of General Purpose continue or will we see a Specialist renaissance - which part of the pie will grow faster?

(Or are General Purpose just farmed harder?)
Ethereum doesn't have problems - Ethereum has improvements waiting to be implemented...

Remember all the FUD on Ethereum Fees - Now Ethereum has multiple fee markets serving numerous audiences.

By having multiple fee markets Ethereum benefits from the innovations of competition rather than just having to make one big bet.
Layer 2s have used 279 GB of Blob Data this year:
⚫️ 253.74 GB Blobs (Ethereum)
⚫️ 25.41 GB Celestia

Demand for Data Availability is only going to increase!
