Layer 2 activity is ramping up and has surpassed Layer 1 Ethereum for some metrics, including transactions per second.
Aggregate transactions per second (TPS) are higher on Layer 2 networks than on Ethereum. However, this does not equate to overall Aktivitéit on those respective networks. According to Etherscan, there were 992,470 transactions on Ethereum on Dec. 20.
The ‘flippening’ was reported by crypto research firm Delphi Digital on Dec. 21. It added that the leading two layer 2 networks were Schiedsrichter an Optimismus.
According to the chart, the flip actually occurred in late September but has remained above Ethereum TPS ever since. Ethereum currently processes around 12.5 TPS, and L2 networks combined are closer to 15 TPS, as per the chart. L2 activity and TPS spiked to a peak of 25 TPS in late October.
However, the difference is currently marginal, and the only real takeaway is that layer 2 TPS has been trending no uewen zënter August.
