Investing in L2 vs ETH

Layer 2 (L2) solutions on Ethereum have made significant progress in the past few years. Currently, the total locked value (TVL) of Ethereum L2 exceeds $40 billion, compared to only $10 billion a year ago. On @l2 beat , you will find more than 50 L2 projects, but the top 5-10 projects account for more than 90% of the TVL.

After the implementation of the EIP-4844 proposal, transaction fees were significantly reduced, and transaction fees on platforms such as Base and Arbitrum were even less than US$0.01.

Despite the huge progress L2 has made in technology and usage, L2 tokens have generally performed poorly as liquidity investments (although as venture investments they have performed very well). You can find many jokes and memes about the poor performance of L2 tokens relative to ETH.

We reviewed the valuations of major L2s relative to ETH. One notable observation is that despite the increase in the number of listed L2s, their total fully diluted valuation (FDV) as a percentage of ETH has remained constant.

Two years ago, the only listed L2s were Optimism and Polygon, with 8% of ETH鈥檚 FDV. Today, we have L2 projects like Arbitrum, Starkware, zkSync, and others, with 9% of ETH鈥檚 FDV.

Every new L2 token listed actually dilutes the valuation of previously listed L2 tokens.

The result of investing in L2 tokens is significant underperformance relative to ETH. The returns over the past 12 months are as follows:

  • ETH: +105%

  • OP: +77%

  • MATIC: -3%

  • ARB: -12%

The FDV of major L2 tokens has long been around $10B. To some extent, this is fairly arbitrary, and market participants have not had a strong reason to explain why it is $1B and not $2B or $300M. Ultimately, there is significant supply pressure due to demand for liquidity and/or large unlocks.

The aforementioned L2 generates $20-30 million in monthly fees. Since the implementation of EIP-4844, fees have dropped to $3-4 million per month, with an annualized fee of about $40-50 million.

Currently, the total FDV of major L2 tokens is about $40 billion, with annualized fees of $40 million and a valuation multiple of about 1,000x.

This is in stark contrast to large DeFi protocols, which typically trade at valuation multiples between 15-60x (based on last month鈥檚 annualized fees):

  • DYDX: 60x

  • SNX: 50x

  • PENDLE: 50x

  • LDO: 40 times

  • AAVE: 20x

  • MKR: 15x

  • GMX: 15x

As more L2 projects come to market, the FDV of L2 tokens may continue to be pressured and diluted. There is too much supply in the market for the liquid market to easily support.

Çözüm

  • In the long term, L2 is likely to generate significant fee income. L2 generates $150M in fees per year (including Base, Blast, Scroll), and this number is likely to grow significantly as L2 activity increases.

  • The above is not specific to a particular L2 project, but rather a broad observation about the category as a whole. It seems difficult to buy a basket of L2 tokens with ~$40B FDV and ~$40M in fees (1000x) and expect them to outperform ETH in the long term.

  • Clearly, there is no shortage of blockspace between L2, high throughput chains like Solana, Sui, Aptos, etc. The limiting factor is the applications that use that blockspace. I expect more focus to be placed on the application layer in the future, and that liquidity markets will reward the application layer over the infrastructure layer in the coming years.

  • In the last cycle, it was more common for projects to be listed significantly early. MATIC was listed on the liquid market with a FDV of less than $50 million and is now over $5 billion, an increase of more than 100 times. However, this is not the case with the recent $OP , $ARB , $STRK , $ZK , and most other L2 tokens that may eventually be listed.

Original author: Frank, PANews Where there are interests, there are conflicts, and where there are conflicts, there are rivers and lakes. Behind the seemingly calm proposal passed by the Solana validator community, there is an open and covert struggle for interests. On May 28, the Solana validator community voted to approve the Solana Improvement Document (SIMD)-0096 proposal, which sends all transaction priority fees to validators, changing the previous distribution method of 50% destruction fees and 50% rewards to validators, aiming to improve validator income and network security. Although the proposal was passed as expected with 77% support, a multi-round battle broke out among validators in the proposal forum around token economic models, governance loopholes, and insider manipulation. PANews will conduct an in-depth interpretation of the topics discussed by the community…
