As Ethereum scales, Layer 2 solutions are battling for dominance—each with a unique edge.
Arbitrum remains the TVL king, hosting major DeFi apps and expanding via Arbitrum Orbit.
Optimism powers the “Superchain” vision, with Coinbase’s Base as a major adopter.
zkSync is leading zkEVM adoption—offering fast, secure transactions but still maturing.
Starknet focuses on high performance with STARKs and Cairo, but adoption is slower due to dev complexity.
Base is Coinbase’s entry point into Web3, offering seamless UX and attracting normies through social apps.
Final Take:
There’s no single winner—each L2 is carving out its niche. The future of Ethereum will be multichain, modular, and zk-powered.
