Q1 data is quite contradictory — users and transaction volume hit new highs, but L1 revenue collapsed. This indicates the Rollup strategy was successful, but the mainnet token economic model needs to be recalculated.

71% of TVL share, 79% of active loans, Ethereum is still that chain, but the way value is captured has completely changed.

13.2 million monthly active users, 316.2 billion TVL, these numbers look like the bull market is back, but an 81.9% plunge in fee income is quite ironic; the ecosystem is making money, while the mainnet is bleeding.

User gains so much, but the gas fee has actually decreased; L2 really saved Ethereum.
