The recent heat in the L2 track has clearly rebounded. The two leading projects, Arbitrum and Optimism, are leading the charge, with ARB rising by 1.8% and OP increasing by 2.1%. The total locked value (TVL) of the entire L2 ecosystem has also surged, surpassing $12.8 billion again. Behind this market trend, capital is accelerating its concentration into top projects. If you are also paying attention to L2 opportunities, strategy is key—selecting top ecosystem tokens is the first choice, while small-cap imitation projects are best kept at arm's length. Friends involved in contract operations should also avoid excessive leverage; low-multiplier operations are the secret to long-term survival. Market cycles always work this way; opportunities and risks are often just a thought apart.

ARB-3,04%

OP-3,83%

Here we go again with the L2 hype, every time it's the same. As soon as I get in, they dump the price. ARB's increase is too slow, might as well wait for the next round. How many times have I said that head concentration is an issue? Retail investors still end up with huge losses. Low leverage? Laughable. Those leverage maniacs have already been liquidated. $12.8 billion isn't much; it's a big drop compared to before. Fake project tokens should be approached with caution, but sometimes they turn out to be dark horses. I just want to know when we can truly break through. This constant pump and dump is really annoying.

How many rounds has this head-focused strategy been played? Still the same advice: avoid small-cap coins to prevent getting cut.

The head project harvest season is here. I really don't see much value in small-cap coins. The recent surge in ARB and OP is interesting, but don't be too greedy. Low leverage is the way to go; the lessons from liquidation are too deep. The 12.8 billion lock-up has returned, the market is telling stories. Those imitation project players are really gambling on luck. Funds are flocking to the top projects, indicating that big players are waking up. Is this round institutional manipulation or genuine growth? Who knows. Don't use too high leverage on contracts; surviving is more important than making quick money. The L2 ecosystem still has room for imagination, but you need to choose the right targets.

The head is concentrated on this wave, it's the old routine again. Whether to follow the trend or not depends on your own capacity. --- The locked-in amount has reached 12.8 billion, but how many can really make money? Most are still taking the other side. --- Low leverage is truly a secret skill. I've seen many people die on leverage, and those who don't learn their lesson are always there. --- ARB's recent rally is average; it feels like the hype hasn't truly started yet. --- Only the brave still dare to touch pump-and-dump projects now; sooner or later, they'll be crushed.

Head concentration is back again, will it really be different this time? History tells us... it won't. --- Low multiples are the way to go, everyone who understands knows, those crawling out of a pile of dead coins say the same. --- 128 billion in locked positions sounds huge, but whose pocket did this money actually go into? --- Starting to advise small coins to stay away again, every time it’s the same, then some imitation project multiplies 5 times... I don’t believe you. --- ARB, OP rising this much? I thought it was a big event, and now you’re already hyping it? --- Capital concentration in the top projects is nothing more than institutions building positions, retail investors are still tangled up in small coins, the routine remains the same. --- As for contracts, avoiding excessive leverage means 99% of people simply can't make quick money, reality is that harsh. --- The seemingly stable opportunities are often the most deadly, how far this L2 cycle can go is really hard to say.
