Ethereum Fees Soar, Layer2 Activity Surges

The decline of "coin king" BTC failed to prevent ETH from breaking new highs. On April 30, ETH reached a high of $2,800, with a 7-day gain exceeding 17%. DeFi leading application assets in the Ethereum ecosystem like UNI, MAKER, COMP all hit new highs. The widespread rally in the Layer2 sector within the Ethereum ecosystem was even more notable. Among them, MATIC and FTM both had 7-day gains exceeding 150%, CELR had a weekly gain of 43%, and NEAR and LRC both rose over 15% within 7 days.
