The Ethereum Layer 2 ecosystem, particularly Optimism and Arbitrum, shows significant investment potential in 2025. Optimism’s key advantage lies in its EVM-equivalent design, ensuring seamless compatibility with Ethereum tools and applications, which attracts developers and users. Its focus on simplicity and transparency in transaction processing also enhances trust. Technological Innovation: Solana’s use of Proof of History (PoH) and other innovative technologies sets it apart from competitors.
Risk Factors: Concerns over network outages and centralization need to be carefully monitored.
