According to Odaily, Ethereum Daily's statistics reveal that over the past year, Base has been the highest-earning Layer 2 (L2) network, generating $64 million in revenue while incurring network costs of only $14 million. This positions Base as a significant player in the L2 space due to its high profitability and efficient cost management.
In comparison, Linea and Arbitrum both secured the second spot in terms of revenue, each earning $58 million. However, their network costs were notably higher. Linea's network expenses amounted to $27 million, whereas Arbitrum's costs reached $36 million. These figures highlight the varying cost structures and efficiencies among different L2 networks, with Base leading in terms of net revenue.
The data underscores the competitive landscape of L2 networks, where revenue generation and cost efficiency are critical metrics for success. Base's ability to maintain low operational costs while achieving high revenue sets a benchmark for other networks in the industry.
