The Ethereum Ecosystem is secured by its native asset, ETH. As more ETH is staked in validators, overall security of the network increases. ETH is a unique store of value, bearing yield that is uncorrelated with TradFi yields. As economic activity in the Ethereum ecosystem increases, the yield increases. As the amount of ETH staked increases, the yield decreases.

ETH has a programmatic issuance schedule. As more ETH is staked, more ETH is issued. This provides validators incentive to keep securing the chain. ETH also has a burn mechanism: the more ETH is paid in transaction fees, the more ETH is burned.

The Ethereum Economy, consisting of L1 plus the network of L2s, secures the most high value assets (stablecoins, real world assets, capital in apps) out of all blockchain ecosystems. Ethereum is the safest home for capital, assets, and users.

Layer 2s are the most scalable, sustainable way to scale Ethereum while maintaining a safe, secure, reliable Layer 1. Layer 2s use Ethereum Layer 1 for consensus and focus on speed and execution - resulting in lower fees and more customizable ecosystems for users. Best of all - Layer 2s are profitable business models! Financial metrics for 6 prominent L2s below. The Ethereum Economy consists of 100+ L2s today.

Ethereum L1 and its network of L2s create a new digital economy that generates sustainable ongoing revenue. Over time, L2 revenues will grow to match, and ultimately eclipse, L1 revenue - while symbiotically accruing more and more value to ETH
