L2 Season Is Here: Base Hits 30.83 Mgas/s - A 516% YoY Surge! Ethereum Scaling Isn't Coming, It's Happening

Layer 2s are really exploding and Base is leading the charge.

As you can see in the image above Base is now hitting 30.83 Mgas/s that is a 516% year over year increase. This is not just impressive, this is a signal and a really loud one.

For those asking why, more throughput is equivalent to more compute capacity which results in cheaper fees, faster decentralized apps and scalability that can rival Web2.

This is what Ethereum scaling was always meant to unlock and day by day it is proven to be right. The rollup centric roadmap is working like a charm and we are watching the network evolve into a high performance global compute layer without compromising security or decentralization.

L2s like Base, Arbitrum and Optimism are not just sidekicks anymore. They are where the real action is happening. Furthermore, the more the infrastructure matures and developers lean into L2 native apps, expect a wave of innovation from hyper efficient DeFi protocols to on chain social platforms that work smoothly.

Ethereum is not just growing, it is leveling up and we are witnessing it. Amazing time to be alive!
