Layer 2 Sector Sees Strong Momentum
Meanwhile, recent data from L2Beat shows growing traction for Ethereum Layer 2 solutions. The value tied to scaling protocols has hit $50.55 billion, a 9.72% increase from last year. Rollups are leading the way, outpacing Validiums and Optimiums in the current market.
