Ethereum mainnet surpassed all layer-2 networks in daily active addresses in January, though security analysts attributed part of the spike to address poisoning attacks.
Network activity on the Ethereum mainnet has now surpassed that on layer-2 scaling blockchains as gas fees remain low, though it may not all be organic users.
Token Terminal said on Thursday that there has been a “return to mainnet,” with daily active addresses on Ethereum outranking all leading layer-2s.
A recent spike in active addresses closed in on 1 million per day, with Etherscan showing that active addresses surged to around 1.3 million on Jan. 16 but have since settled to around 945,000 daily active addresses.
