Ethereum Layer 2 Adoption Drives 62.7% Weekly Growth as Unichain and Base Lead Usage

- Ethereum ecosystem hits 15.4 million weekly active addresses, the highest to date.
- User activity grew by 62.7% in just seven days.
- Layer 2 solutions now dominate Ethereum usage at a 6.65x ratio to Mainnet.
The Ethereum ecosystem has recorded its highest-ever number of active addresses, hitting 15.4 million in a single week. The surge is largely driven by activity on Layer 2 chains like Base and Unichain.
Layer 2 Networks Account for Majority of Ethereum Activity
According to on-chain data shared by analyst Leon Waidmann, Ethereum-compatible chains saw a 62.7% week-over-week jump in active addresses. Layer 2 networks now handle 6.65 times more transactions than the Ethereum Mainnet.

Ethereum’s modular design pushes most user activity onto Layer 2 chains while using the Mainnet primarily for settlement, allowing the ecosystem to scale without compromising security.
Unichain and Base Outpace Ethereum Mainnet in User Growth
Among all the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) chains tracked, Unichain reported the highest number of active addresses at 5.8 millio…
