L2s are doing a great job handling Ethereum’s growing transaction load, but the numbers tell us that pressure is building. Take Base, for instance. Coinbase’s optimistic rollup has seen its usage spike nearly 300% in 2024, driven by meme coins and other trending projects. The fact that Base and other L2s are seeing this level of adoption is exciting, but it also signals a looming challenge.

wow, that's crazy growth for Base! 🚀 it's awesome to see L2s like this getting so much traction, but yeah, hope they can keep up with the hype. fingers crossed! 🤞
