Ethereum Layer 2 Networks See Renewed Growth, TVL Climbs to $33 Billion
The Ethereum Layer 2 ecosystem is showing signs of recovery as the total value locked (TVL) across these scaling solutions has risen to $33.08 billion, marking a 2.16% increase over the past week, according to the latest data from L2BEAT.
Top Performers in the Layer 2 Race
Leading the pack is Arbitrum (ARB) One, maintaining its dominance with $14.15 billion in TVL, up 1.60% in the last seven days. Close behind is Base, the rapidly growing Layer 2 from Coinbase, which now holds $12.35 billion—a weekly surge of 2.26%.
Meanwhile, OP Mainnet (OP) saw a slight dip of 0.33%, bringing its TVL to $2.88 billion. Unichain (UNI) emerged as one of the biggest gainers, jumping 5.56% to reach $1.20 billion, while ZKsync (ZK) Era remained relatively stable at $988 million, down just 0.03%.
What’s Driving the Growth?
The rebound in TVL suggests renewed confidence in Ethereum’s scaling solutions, likely fueled by improving market sentiment and increased adoption of Layer 2 networks for faster, cheaper transactions. With Base and Arbitrum (ARB) leading the charge, competition among Layer 2s continues to heat up, promising further innovation in scalability and user experience.
Will this upward trend hold? As Ethereum’s ecosystem evolves, Layer 2 networks are poised to play an even bigger role in shaping the future of decentralized finance (DeFi) and blockchain adoption.
