@BeamableNetwork isn’t pitching simulations. It’s powering the infrastructure behind them.
Most DePIN projects start by printing supply and waiting for demand to appear.
Beamable does the opposite.
With years of backend demand before a single token was minted, and each API call representing a real transaction, not synthetic volume.
This isn’t “on-chain gaming.” This is on-chain compute - the invisible backbone that powers internet-scale workloads.
Beamable turns backend demand into a liquid asset class. An on-chain AWS where compute is tradable, verifiable, and decentralized.
Every metric above is throughput, not speculation. Each dollar of ARR becomes network liquidity. Each call adds load, burn, and buyback pressure to $BMB.
In a market full of roadmaps, Beamable already ships receipts.
That’s the difference between chasing narratives, and building infrastructure.
This year, the scoreboard shifted.. and @arbitrum quietly held its ground. $20.9 million in YTD fees, second only to Base’s $66.6 million, with no centralized exchange funnel or retail subsidy driving it.
@base dominates on user flow @arbitrum earns from financial depth.
Its core engines (@GMX_IO, @OstiumLabs, and others) monetize behavior that persists; trading, hedging, yield compounding, and protocol-to-protocol liquidity.
Every swap, liquidation, and rebalancing cycle reinforces its cashflow base.
That’s the difference between activity and economy.
Arbitrum isn’t just scaling Ethereum anymore. It’s building the revenue spine of on-chain finance; where tokenized assets, derivatives, and stablecoin settlement meet.
The market still calls it a roll-up. But the data already calls it a business.
The real metric is fee dominance: who earns when capital moves.
@HyperliquidX now commands 40% of all Layer-1 fee flow. @BNBCHAIN: 20%. @solana: 9%, collapsing from above 50% earlier this year.
That’s not a glitch. It’s a repricing of what matters.
Liquidity that churns is more valuable than liquidity that sits. Hyperliquid and BNB captured the most active orderflow: derivatives, liquidations, funding, rebalancing...while Solana’s memecoin traffic dried up.
Fee dominance exposes the truth TVL hides:
➤ TVL: shows how much liquidity is parked ➤ Fees: share shows how much liquidity is used ➤ Revenue density: shows which networks monetize behavior, not deposits
Blockchains aren’t competing for users anymore. They’re competing for execution share, for the traders, bots, and protocols that actually generate economic throughput.
The next market cycle won’t crown the chain with the most deposits. It’ll crown the one with the highest revenue per block.
We can argue zk proofs or sequencer models all day, but money already made its choice.
Cheaper, faster; those come and go and then what always stick is gravity & right now, it lives on @arbitrum.
Ethereum’s L2 landscape has matured into a liquidity hierarchy. The scaling question is solved; the real contest now is who anchors capital.
By bridge type, @arbitrum holds $17.05B, followed by @base $15.26B.
Then a sharp drop: @Optimism $2.96B, @LineaBuild $1.37B, and @Starknet $706M
Half of Ethereum’s L2 liquidity sits inside just two systems, but only one monetizes it natively through composable DeFi depth. That’s @arbitrum's edge: liquidity that earns, trades, and recycles without leaving orbit.
Liquidity behaves like a gravity well. Once a network passes a certain mass, every inflow bends toward it. Depth tightens spreads, lowers slippage, reinforces retention, and the loop repeats.
@GMX_IO, and @CamelotDEX formed the yield base that kept leverage and liquidity on-chain. Capital → volume → fee stability → builders → more capital.
Reliability compounds invisibly, and with Ethereum’s Fusaka upgrade expected to cut DA costs by 30%, sequencer margins expand further.
Its moat now rests on three layers:
➤ Liquidity density: deep collateral markets. ➤ Composability: Orbit chains and Stylus extensions without fragmentation. ➤ Credibility: RWA and restaked $ETH using it as a base.
@Optimism leans on governance unity, @base on retail funnels.
@arbitrum does what matters most: makes liquidity stay.
Velocity is the moat. Capital moves efficiently inside its walls and rarely leaves. Volume feeds reliability, reliability feeds trust, and that trust keeps the loop spinning.
Layer 2s aren’t competing on tech anymore, they’re competing on gravity. And that center of mass is still @arbitrum.
Hyperliquid and BNB Chain now dominate Layer-1 fee generation.
> @HyperliquidX share: 40% of all L1 fees > BNB Chain share: 20% > Solana share: down to 9% (from 50% earlier this year) > Memecoin volume: −72% since April > Derivatives volume: +88% QoQ across major venues
The rotation is structural. Memecoins drove speculative bursts. Derivatives sustain recurring flow. As volatility returned, liquidity migrated to venues where execution mattered more than hype.
BNB captured retail via #Binance Wallet and Aster.
@HyperliquidX captured traders via depth and low-latency perps. Solana, without a new speculative driver, lost fee density.
Execution replaced speculation as the main value engine. That’s the new onchain fee hierarchy.
I still remember when rollup fees used to be a problem subtly.. you’d bridge to arbitrum/optimism thinking you were escaping mainnet gas, then pay $1.20 per tx anyway, lol.
Then march 2024 happened, EIP-4844 (proto-danksharding).
Ethereum quietly flipped a switch, and everything about rollup economics changed overnight.
For the first time, L2s could post data as blobs instead of calldata.
It may have sounded small but it’s the biggest thing to happen to scaling since rollups themselves.
Calldata sits permanently onchain, expensive storage, high fees.
Blobs, on the other hand, are temporary data containers (kept for about 18 days), they store what rollups need to prove validity but don’t clog the mainnet.
That small design tweak cut L2 data costs by 60–90% immediately.
@arbitrum transactions dropped from approx $0.30 to $0.05, @base became cheaper than polygon’s PoS chain.
Even @zksync and Linea with their heavier zk proofs, started feeling “mainnet-like,” but faster.
and then, as you will guess, suddenly something clicked.
Rollups weren’t just scaling infrastructure anymore, they were economic zones.
When transaction costs drop that low, activity explodes.
More trades, more mints, more app flows and that means more sequencer revenue, more fees recycled into their own ecosystems.
You could actually see it onchain:
➤ @arbitrum sequencer revenue hit all time highs post-4844.
➤ @optimism’s OP Stack chains (like base and mode) started generating consistent protocol fees.
➤ even smaller rollups like @blast or @Linea saw record tx counts.
The “blob moment” made rollups sustainable not just technically, but economically, it made them self-reinforcing systems:
cheap data → more users → more volume → more fees → more devs → more chains.
Ethereum didn’t just scale throughput, it created space for economies to form.
And for the first time since the rollup thesis began, it feels like scaling is real, not theoretical.
The post-blob world isn’t hype anymore, it’s the foundation of the modular era we’re stepping into.
