The Base network is more expensive than the second tier network and earns around $150,000 per day: details

Data released by the “CryptoRank.io” platform shows that the “Base” network topped the Ethereum second-layer network handling fee rankings on January 14, achieving a daily income of approximately US$147,000, far ahead of “Arbitrum” of approximately US$39,000 and “Starknet” of approximately US$9,000.

The numbers show a clear concentration of activity on one network, while most other extended networks don’t cost more than $5,000 in a 24-hour period.

According to the same report, Base’s share of total Ethereum L2 revenue is close to 70%, while the rest of the network’s combined revenue does not exceed approximately $15,000.

“Linea” is worth approximately $4,500, “Optimism Network” is worth $2,400, “Unichain” is worth $2,000, and “Ink” is worth $1,500, indicating that the gap between the top of the market and the rest is widening.

According to the revenue chart on “DefiLlama,” some followers pointed out that “Polygon”‘s daily fee was around $155,000 back in the day, and the figures sparked discussion on the social media platform.

This sparked a debate about the classification of “polygon”:

It’s really the second layer or broader ecosystem, including proof of stake networks and zk products, which makes comparing Ethereum L2’s revenue to Polygon’s revenue completely inconsistent.

Looking at the broader perspective, the network revenue table shows that Tron leads all networks with more than $1 million in revenue per day, followed by “Polygon,” “Base,” and then other networks such as Ethereum, BNB Network, Solana, and Arbitrum.

However, the base network remains the top network associated with Ethereum.

The strong performance of “Base” combined with Coinbase’s expansion into products built on the network has enhanced user traffic and activity compared to L2 networks that lack similar consumption paths.
