⚔️ Ethereum Layer 2 Wars: Which L2 Will Dominate in 2025?
Gas fees are back—and that means Layer 2s are heating up again. As Ethereum scales through rollups, a full-blown L2 war is happening in real time, with top contenders like Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, and zkSync battling for dominance.
This might be your last chance to position early before the next wave of L2 growth.
🚀 The L2 Landscape in 2025
• Arbitrum (ARB) – Still #1 in TVL, with booming DeFi apps like GMX & Radiant
• Optimism (OP) – Powering Coinbase’s Base, focused on modular scaling
• Base – Fastest-growing L2, massive memecoin and NFT volume
• zkSync & Starknet – ZK-rollups offering speed, privacy, and lower fees
• Blast – Yield-based L2 attracting early capital and attention
💰 Why L2s Matter Now

• Ecosystem-specific airdrops rewarding early users
• Major support from Binance, Coinbase, and ETH devs
• On-chain DeFi/NFT growth shifting from L1 to L2
