This is why base other Ethereum layer 2s is crushing in turnover

Base, the Coinbase-infected Ethereum Layer 2 network, has emerged as the most profitable roles in the ecosystem, because it generated an average of $ 185.291 in daily sales in the last six months.

With the latest digit, Base has the $ 55,025 of Arbitrum and the combined $ 46,742 of 14 other top layers 2s.

Base records the majority of the L2 market share

In his latest analysis, Galaxy Digital explained The lead of that basis is supported by the rate model inspired by EIP-1559, which makes “dynamic” auction-based priority costs possible instead of strict order of the first first (FCFS).

The sequencer gives priority to transactions based on the highest priority costs per unit of gas and enables users to pay premiums for urgent implementation. This allows the basis to efficiently earn the demand of the block space.

The Pectra upgrade of Ethereum, which reduced Layer 1 booking costs via Blob-compatible data retention, has also improved the efficiency of the basis in generating money power while retaining low transaction costs.

While Arbitrum introduced TimeBoost in April 2025 to enable final bidding for express version, it remains a predictive system with fixing that is less reactive than the supply of the basis. This makes the first less effective in capturing sudden peaks in users’ demand.

In the past six months, priority costs only have an average of $ 156,138 per day for the basis. The chain accounted for around 86% of its daily income. In 2025, transactions that occupy the top slot of each block contributed 30% -45% of daily turnover, while the top 10 slots are justified in the same period between 50% -80% of the daily turnover.

In the meantime, “Flashblocks”, which was implemented on the Layer 2 network on July 16, introduced sub-block confirmations with which transactions with a high priority can land in lower slots and still be performed almost almost instant. This has resulted in a more even distribution of priority reimbursements over Blok Slots without reducing the total generation of reimbursements. Such a system helped to maintain a strong income of income, despite changes in trench allocation.

Base’s Revenue Engine

It is important to note that the dominance of Base in Decentralized Exchange (DEX) activity has been an important engine for income. The network has consistently recorded 50% -65% of Layer 2 DEX volume and has the highest DEX TVL under Laag 2S, excluding perpetual DEX platforms.

Historically, priority reimbursements bound to Dex -Waps 50% -70% of the daily costs at the base. However, this share has fallen to around 34% in recent weeks and reflects increased basic costs and growing non-DEX competence for block space in the network. Despite this dip it has been observed that DEX -Waps makes a primary contribution to the reimbursement generation of the base, especially in time -sensitive transactions and maximum extractable value (MEV) strategies.

Data also indicate that a small cohort of users dominates priority payments, with 250 addresses that account for nearly 65% of all priority costs that are paid in the past year.
