Ethereum's leading Layer 2 scaling solutions have collectively processed a record-breaking number of daily transactions, surpassing the Ethereum mainnet for the first time. Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base accounted for the majority of the throughput.
The milestone demonstrates the growing adoption of rollup technology to address Ethereum's scalability challenges while maintaining security guarantees from the base layer.
Developers say the trend validates the Ethereum roadmap's focus on a rollup-centric future, with gas fees on Layer 2 networks averaging less than one cent per transaction.
