ETHEREUM MAINNET HAS ALMOST AS MANY ACTIVE APPS AS BASE AND ARBITRUM COMBINED And here's something even more remarkable. Layer 2 networks now handle 94% of Ethereum's transaction throughput, yet Mainnet still holds approximately $158 BILLION in stablecoins. That's 93% of the stablecoin supply across Ethereum and its tracked L2 ecosystem. The latest growthepie data reveals just how powerful Ethereum's scaling strategy is becoming. Execution is spreading across faster, cheaper networks. But the overwhelming majority of stablecoin capital remains anchored on Mainnet. And as the chart shows, Ethereum Mainnet still leads in active applications despite the enormous growth of Base, Arbitrum and other networks. This is exactly what Ethereum's scaling roadmap was designed to achieve. L2s expand transaction capacity while Mainnet provides the liquidity, settlement and security infrastructure underpinning the ecosystem. For ETH investors, the opportunity extends far beyond transaction counts. As institutional finance, stablecoins and tokenized assets expand onchain, Ethereum is positioned to benefit from growing demand for settlement, blockspace and economic security. The network is scaling outward while its financial foundation remains firmly anchored on Mainnet.
