Current State of Layer2 Networks
As of February 4th, market data indicates that out of 135 Ethereum Layer2 networks, 109 have user operations per second (UOPS) below 1. This highlights that the overall activity across Layer2 solutions remains quite low.
Ethereum Mainnet and Leading Layer2 Performance
The Ethereum mainnet currently has a UOPS of 29.94, with its peak reaching 33.59 on January 16th, 2026. Below are some key Layer2 network figures:
- Base: 144.04 UOPS in the past 24 hours, with a peak of 213.14 (November 18, 2025)
- Polygon: 81.49 UOPS in the past 24 hours, with a peak of 190 (November 16, 2023)
- Arbitrum: 60.13 UOPS in the past 24 hours, with a peak of 69.35 (September 25, 2025)
- OP: 28.71 UOPS in the past 24 hours, with a peak of 33.81 (October 10, 2025)
