1- Ethereum Layer-2 Recorded More Transactions Processing Than Bitcoin
With the increase in Ethereum transaction fees, Layer 2 (L2) scaling protocols have gained widespread adoption over the past few months. As per a report, the L2 ecosystem is also processing more daily transactions than the Bitcoin network.
According to CoinMetrics data collated by industry analyst Evan Van Ness, Layer 2 protocols process roughly 250,000 transactions per day. Meanwhile, there were around 210,000 transactions recorded on Bitcoin.
The analyst reported that StarkWare processed around 143,000 transactions across different decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms. In addition, the recently launched Arbitrum had around 56,000 transactions. Optimistic Ethereum processes around 28,000 transactions daily.
