Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

This analysis breaks down the revenue and profitability of the top Layer 1 (L1) and Layer 2 (L2) blockchains over the past year. While Ethereum leads in revenue, it posted a net loss due to high token issuance, unlike Tron, which is the most profitable blockchain with $271M in earnings. Base emerged as the most profitable among L2s, retaining 63% of its revenue, while others like Arbitrum and zkSync Era showed positive earnings despite the competitive environment.
