The Layer2 ecosystem is gradually rising, and is expected to truly explode in 2024.
The rise of Layer2 ecosystems, the real explosion may occur next year.
The recent issuance of tokens by Arbitrum has stirred up a wave in the entire Layer 2 ecosystem, leading to the following phenomena:
Arbitrum's TVL has rapidly risen to $2.25 billion, accounting for 66.86% of the total Layer 2. The number of active users in a single week reached 1.38 million.
Other Layer 2 projects that have not issued tokens, such as zkSync and StarkNet, also benefited, with a surge in user interactions. zkSync's gas consumption rose by 82% over the past week.
Projects on the Goerli testnet are also gaining attention, and Goerli ETH test tokens have started to have a price.
Chinese users are highly enthusiastic about airdrops, with zkSync ranking first in global search volume on Google Trends in the past month.
The Layer2 ecosystem is currently developing rapidly:
zkSync Era has officially opened to users, with a TVL of $42.86 million and over 240,000 unique addresses.
The StarkNet ecosystem has over 50 projects, covering multiple fields such as DeFi, NFTs, and gaming.
Emerging Layer 2 projects such as Scroll, Base, and Linea are also actively laying out their plans.
Bitcoin Layer 2 networks such as the Lightning Network and Stacks are also starting to gain attention.
However, Layer 2 technology and its ecosystem still need improvement, and the real explosion may not come until 2024. By then, the Ethereum upgrade will be completed, and with a diversity of on-chain applications, a new bull market may be ushered in.
