Layer-2 networks on Ethereum are no longer just scaling solutions; they’re becoming distinct ecosystems with unique user bases. Arbitrum has captured DeFi liquidity, Optimism is leading in governance experiments, and Base is leveraging Coinbase’s massive user funnel. These ecosystems highlight how scalability is not just about throughput but about network effects. The challenge lies in interoperability — fragmented liquidity across rollups limits composability. Solutions like shared sequencing and cross-rollup messaging will be key. Whoever solves seamless interoperability will unlock the full power of Ethereum’s modular future.
