Layer2News is an analytics and research website focused on scaling and modular blockchain ecosystems, providing education and project assessments to help users avoid scams and discover quality projects.

About Us

Layer2News is an analytics and research website about scaling and modular ecosystems. We are committed to educating users so that they can get started quickly and find excellent projects more easily with Layer2News.

Contribution

As of today, Layer2News has listed 2000+ projects. These projects come from 34 ecosystems such as Arbitrum, OP Mainnet, zkSync, Starknet, zkSync, OP Stack, Arbitrum Orbit, EigenLayer, etc. Layer2News tries to tell people about Optimistic Rollup, ZK Rollup, RaaS Framework, No Code Deployment, Shared Sequencer, and OmniChain what each of them is and how quickly one can get involved.

The Layer2News team takes a deeper look at each project and divides them as follows: Wallet, Bridge, DEX, DeFi, NFT Trade, NFT, Game, Social, Infra. We try to educate users that DEX can be subdivided into: AMM DEX, CFMM DEX, vAMM DEX, DMM DEX, CLMM DEX, and so on.

Because of our in-depth knowledge of each project, we rate the projects from information such as the project team, community buzz, project outlook, and project operations to avoid scams.

Impact

For new users, they may have clicked on the wrong link and downloaded a fake MetaMask wallet, and they may not know how to bridge assets to Arbitrum.

Until Layer2News was launched, we saw a large number of KOLs discussing Layer2News, which included the largest number of projects in the most concise presentation and provided shortcuts for new users to get started.

Our initial intention is simple, users can know what the project is doing, whether the project should be involved or not, so that users can avoid being scammed, and so that users can find excellent projects with as few mouse clicks as possible.

At the beginning of Layer2News' launch, 2k-3k users browsed the site every day, and until today, there are 200+ users using Layer2News every day as well.
