A week after the implementation of the Pectra update, the Ethereum ecosystem (ETH) experiences a growth in its activity ON-CHAINaccompanied by an increase in the price of Ether, which is quoted about $ 2,600, a level not seen since the end of last February.
Macroeconomic factors, such as the recent tariff agreements promoted by US President Donald Trump, have contributed to that impulse in Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrencies, but in the case of ETH, a portion of that positive effect can be awarded to sin, which promises to transform the experience of use and scalability of the network, favoring the adoption of Ethereum.
A booming ecosystem?
Grow The Pie site data reflect significant growth in Ethereum’s activity in the last seven days. For example, the Network registered 13.6 million active addresses in the last week, an increase of 30% compared to the previous week. Of that figure, just over 11 million correspond to the L2, while 2 million new accounts were added to the Ethereum main chain.
Additionally, 682,000 Wallets operated among multiple chains of this ecosystem, 15% more from sinwhile the dominance of second -layer solutions (L2) shot 22%, processing almost six times more activity than the main network.
The statistics presented here can be observed in the following graphic From Grow The Pie: The orange bars represent the active accounts in L2, while the gray, the same in the Ethereum base layer. In both cases, that figure increased in the last week compared to the previous one, after sin:
On the other hand, the amount of daily transactions It also presents an important boom in the last seven days. On May 7, the day that was implemented, the Mainnet (main network) from Ethereum registered around 1.2 million operations; at the time of this article, That number increased to almost 1.4 million.
However, this statistic demonstrates greater growth in L2: the base network went from 7 million to more than 10 million daily transactions And arbitrum, another of the most operated L2, reached 2.5 million daily transactions, almost 1 million more than those made on May 7.
These data reviewed show that, during this last week, users have preferred to operate in the second layers of Ethereum at the expense of the base layer, not only because of its efficiency to move funds or do staking, but also for access to a broader ecosystem that includes its own markets, advanced trading tools such as bots, and financial options such as loans and liquidity pools, activities that differentiate L2 from the L2 from Mainnet and explain their growing adoption.
In addition, the use of Ethereum has been so significant the last week that, as cryptootics reported, the network has entered Again in a deflationary stagewhere ETH burning is exceeding the issuance of this token, a state that remains to date.
The executive manager of the Ethereum Foundation, Tomasz K. Stańczak, also He stressed This growth, highlighting how sin is promoting adoption of new functionalities and consolidating confidence in the network.
EIP-7702: Smart purses
A central component of pein is the proposal to improve Ethereum 7702 (EIP-7702), which allows traditional wallets to operate as intelligent contracts, simplifying complex operations.
According to data of the Dune analysis platform, in the first week from the activation of pein they were executed almost 11,000 authorizations EIP-7702 In the main network. The following wallets are the most of this type of operations register at the time of this writing, among which exchange Whitebit, OKX Wallet, Metamask, Ambirewallet, among others: among others: among others:
This innovation not only improves usability, but also reduces multiple firms dependence and optimizes processes such as tokens exchange or interaction with decentralized applications (DAPPS). However, this simplicity could favor risks of Hackeosas expressed by users, although denied by others.
The Pectra update has catalyzed an increase in the adoption and use of Ethereum, marking a milestone in its evolution as a network. Thus, the Network co -founded by Vitalik Buterin, while its native token is also valued, is positioned to capitalize on this new wave of activity, being able to mean a turning point.
