Ethereum Transactions on Layer 2 Solutions Soar to 89% of Total Network Activity

Ethereum has seen a significant shift in its transaction dynamics, with 89% of all Ethereum-based transactions now occurring on Layer 2 (L2) solutions. This marks a substantial increase in the adoption of L2 technologies, which are designed to improve scalability and reduce transaction costs on the Ethereum network.

The surge in L2 adoption is largely driven by the increasing demand for faster and cheaper transactions, as Ethereum’s mainnet continues to face congestion issues. Layer 2 solutions, such as Optimistic Rollups and ZK-Rollups, have become the preferred choice for many users, especially those involved in decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

As L2 solutions continue to gain traction, it is expected that they will play a pivotal role in Ethereum’s future, potentially alleviating some of the scaling challenges that have plagued the network in recent years.
