About us

L2BEAT is a dedicated analytics and research platform for Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) scaling solutions. Our goal is to comprehensively compare various Ethereum L2 systems and educate the community with objective insights.

We present various non-trivial metrics and have meticulously analyzed each L2 project to understand its technology's inner workings and associated risks. We contribute to developing public goods in the L2 space as a credibly neutral industry participant.

As an impartial watchdog, we are known for our risk assessments, which are highly valued by users, apps, and projects.

L2BEAT actively participates in the governance of L2 projects: Arbitrum, Optimism, Hop Protocol, and more to come.

Our work

Our ongoing initiatives include:

• 🌐 Constantly updating and adding new features to l2beat.com
• 🛠 Releasing open-source products such as Earl to support the broader developer community
• 🔍 Developing essential tools like the StarkEx Explorer for the L2 ecosystem
• 🎓 Organizing high-quality events and coordinating meetups to educate and grow the Ethereum community

We have ambitious plans for the future, including introducing more metrics, enhancing our risk framework, automating monitoring, and building specialized instruments for various L2s that empower users to perform operations like forced transactions or view the L2 state from the L1 perspective.
