Noticed a shift in the market lately—ETH holders seem to be rotating capital toward Layer 2 solutions, particularly Base. The question is worth asking: what's driving this migration? Is it yield opportunities, lower transaction costs, or genuine conviction in L2 scaling infrastructure? The data suggests meaningful capital flows from ETH into Base and similar L2 chains. This trend reflects how the ecosystem is evolving, with developers and users increasingly exploring alternatives beyond mainnet to balance efficiency and security. Whether this is a temporary pattern or a structural shift in where liquidity settles will be crucial to watch.

Haha, it's the story of base again. I just realized this now... I should have followed the trend earlier.

This wave of popularity for base is indeed quite intense, but I'm more curious whether these people genuinely believe in L2 or just want to exploit the opportunity.

Base is really taking off, it feels like the ETH mainnet is a bit awkward now.

According to the database, the fund migration to Base has lasted for x days. How long has it been since the last promise of "L2 is really going to explode"? Let's wait patiently.

Base is really just leeching, ETH holders have all moved over, but to be honest, the yield is tempting, just be careful of rug pulls.

Isn't it just about chasing cheap Gas fees? I really don't know how long Base can stay popular.

The base ecosystem has really taken off. This wave isn't just hype, right?

Funds are moving to L2, essentially looking for arbitrage opportunities. But this kind of migration itself is a security risk — the attack vectors for L2 verification mechanisms are much greater than those for the mainnet. How many people have actually read the audit reports?

This round of base really sucks blood, but is yield really that attractive...
