Ethereum continues cementing its role as the settlement and data availability backbone for crypto. The numbers tell the story: TVL surged past $97.5B while monthly transaction volumes reached new peaks. Yet beneath the surface, day-to-day activity keeps flowing toward Layer 2 solutions—a trend that accelerated with the Pectra upgrade. The payoff? Mainnet gas fees plummeted to around $0.19, signaling a strategic shift where Ethereum anchors security while L2s handle the traffic.

Gas fees have dropped to $0.19, this is the way Ethereum should be. Those high fees before were really excessive.

L2 is really about to take off. The 97.5 billion TVL is no longer a big deal. The key is that gas fees can finally breathe.

honestly the $0.19 gas is just theater when 90% of the actual volume's already fled to l2s. pectra didn't solve anything, it just made the exodus official lol

The $0.19 gas fee is really amazing; it should have been like this a long time ago. L2 takes off, Ethereum is stable, and this wave of Pectra's rise was not in vain.
