Ethereum layer 2 networks have reached a significant milestone with a total value locked (TVL) of $13 billion within their contracts, as per L2Beat data. Despite challenges in user experience and security, the trend of increasing interest in layer 2s is expected to continue. There are currently 32 Ethereum layer 2 networks, including Arbitrum One, Optimism, Base, Polygon zkEVM, and Metis. While layer 2 networks have thrived due to successful marketing efforts and high yields, they still face challenges in terms of user experience and centralization. The competition from layer 2s is expected to push for improvements to layer 1s, resulting in higher throughput for the foundational layers. Additionally, the number of layer 2s is increasing, with OKX and Kraken rumored to be building their own.

A study by Salus Security co-founder Mirror Tang and his colleagues shows that the privacy function provided by zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP) can be applied to the Ethereum mainnet. Tang said the research indicates that if we can use computational optimization to incorporate ZKP technology into the Solidity compiler, we can significantly reduce the gas fees of Ethereum itself. As a result, transaction activity will be concentrated in the main network rather than scattered across different L2 ecosystems.
