Profits = Revenue - Costs
Layer 2 (L2) rollups are scaling solutions that help process transactions off the main Layer 1 blockchain (Ethereum), bundling these transactions into a single batch. This batch is then submitted to the L1 blockchain, where a proof of the transactions is stored. The costs associated with submitting this batch (e.g., calldata) are typically passed on to users as fees, though they are incurred by the L2 protocol. The dashboard below tracks these costs, along with revenues (from transaction fees), and the resulting financial performance of the L2 protocols.
The L2 rollup protocols analyzed are:
- Arbitrum
- Optimism
- Base
