No more nonsense: A few useful information gaps/trivia about the $ETH mainnet: ❶ On September 1, 2025, Ethereum gas fees dropped to 0.17 gwei, a five-year low and a 97% decrease from the 2021 peak of 40 gwei. ❷ Still judging mainnet transaction activity by mainnet gas? Wrong. In July 2025, the Ethereum mainnet had 46.7M transactions per month, setting a record for the highest monthly transaction volume ever. The average daily transaction volume over the past 30 days has been 1,667,062, maintaining a high level. Low gas does not equal low activity. Low gas does not equal low activity. Low gas does not equal low activity. Next time someone says, "I see no activity on the chain because gas is so low," you can just imitate the old OG and lecture them. The reason is that the scaling effect is evident: 1. Dencun upgrade (EIP-4844 (proto-danksharding) 2. The continued development of Layer 2 (yes, counterintuitive again) If we were to discuss this in detail, each point could be a high-level academic paper. However, this is beyond my purview, so I won't elaborate further. I welcome recommendations from those with the skills to read. ❸Current user behavior on the Ethereum mainnet shows a shift from traditional DeFi to emerging areas such as RWA, Decentralized PIN (Decrypted Intermediary Platform), and AI. DeFi accounts for approximately 11% (a significant decrease), while emerging applications such as RWA/Decrypted Intermediary Platform/AI account for 58%. , including stablecoin transfers: 5% (a three-year low). ❹As mentioned earlier, Layer 2 has contributed significantly to lowering gas fees on the Ethereum mainnet, contradicting our perception of unused "ghost chains." Over the past 12 months, Layer 2 paid approximately $8.2 million to Ethereum while processing billions of transactions. As the saying goes: The speed of a train depends on the locomotive. Most of the above data is provided by the three leading Layer 2 public chains. So, the question is: which Layer 2 public chain has the most active transactions? #Ethereum #Layer2
