The commissions in the main L2 fell to less than USD 0.01 after Dencun.
On August 13, more than 86% of the 23 million operations in Ethereum occurred in L2.
Ethereum has become an ecosystem focused on second -layer networks (L2), according to the analysis published on August 13 by the firm Ochain Foundation. So much so that 75% of active addresses Never interact with the main network (L1).
These networks allow processing transactions faster and more economicaldownloading to the base layer of most of the daily activity.
According to the Grow The Pie platform, cited by Ochain Foundation, from the Dencun update in March 2024, the commissions in the main L2 They have fallen below USD 0.01.
The report adds that «L1 is the safe liquidation layer; In L2 is where daily life occurs ».
Dencun, as Cryptooticias detailed, was an Ethereum update that introduced the implementation of two structures known as “Proto-Danksharding“And”BLOBS“, that They consolidated the low commissions for L2.
Activity concentrated in L2
The activity in the Ethereum ecosystem reinforces the trend addressed by Ochain Foundation.
Between August 4 and 10, almost 13 million Accounts They interact with the Ethereum ecosystem: 9.9 million did it in L2 and less than 3 million in L1.
As can also be seen in the previous graph, the difference in the amount of active accounts between L1 and L2 grows from 2023 sustained.
Then, on August 13, more than 23 million transactions were recorded throughout the ecosystem, of which Almost 22 million occurred in second -layer networks and only 1.6 million in the main network.
In other words, more than 86% of the total operations occur in L2.
As in active accounts, the gap between transactions in L1 and L2, far from being an isolated phenomenon, has maintained and expanded from April 2023 to the present in favor of L2.
Ochain Foundation too highlighted That the institutions and actors in the sector are developing on Ethereum, using second -layer networks as an infrastructure: «Robinhood is tokenizing actions in arbitrum; Sony and Kraken have launched their own L2; Shopify integrated payments with USDC on base ».
In such a way, Ethereum is consolidated as a network where the main layer acts as a safety and liquidation base, while the bulk of the interaction and the volume of operations moves to the L2.
