Arbitrum Nova, a scaling solution by OffChain Labs, has been dominating Layer 2 throughput, consistently processing over 44 transactions per second (TPS) for the past 10 days. Despite ranking 22nd in total value locked (TVL) with $50 million, Nova posted an all-time high of 53.2 TPS on March 4, outpacing other Layer 2 networks. The surge in activity is attributed to projects like Arbius, a DePin project, and web3 games like Pirate Nation and BattlePlan. Nova's validators verify transactions off-chain, allowing higher throughput compared to Arbitrum One but adopting a more centralized architecture.
