The Revenue Gap in the Ethereum Ecosystem L2 chains such as Base, Arbitrum, and Optimism utilize Ethereum's security and infrastructure. However, these chains largely collect the transaction fees (gas, MEV, sequencer fees) they collect. Ethereum provides security but lacks an economic share. This creates an asymmetric model of "Ethereum → security" and "L2s → profit" in the long run. If this gap is not closed, Ethereum's economic sustainability could be weakened. 💸 1️⃣ Revenue-Sharing L2 Models L2s that use Ethereum's security transfer a portion of their revenue back to Ethereum. Users transact on L2 → a portion of the fees are directed to Ethereum or validators. Thus, Ethereum becomes not only a security partner but also a revenue partner. The goal: To ensure that L2s remain "Ethereum-aligned" and create a long-term value flow to ETH. Examples: Mantle: A portion of the revenue is transferred to the MNT token economy and Ethereum security. Blast: Provides ETH staking revenue while holding funds
