Ethereum has achieved a significant milestone, processing 1.45 million daily transactions – the highest level recorded since 2021.
This surge in network activity is primarily attributed to the widespread adoption and efficiency gains offered by Ethereum Layer-2 scaling solutions.
Solutions like Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, and zkSync have significantly alleviated congestion and reduced transaction costs on Ethereum’s mainnet.
These Layer-2 platforms provide users faster and more accessible transaction processing.
Robust growth in decentralized finance (DeFi) activities, such as yield farming, also contributed substantially to the transaction volume.
Furthermore, activity across major NFT marketplaces, including OpenSea and Blur, played a key role in driving this increase.
The record transaction count showcases strengthening network health, renewed developer confidence, and the success of Ethereum’s ongoing scalability improvements.
The network anticipates further scalability enhancements through upcoming core upgrades like the ‘Surge’ phase.
