Insiders say that the US cryptocurrency exchange Kraken is considering partnering with several leading blockchain technology companies to launch its own Layer 2 network, including Polygon, Matter Labs, and Nil Foundation.

According to L2BEAT data, the TVL of Ethereum Layer2 network is now $12.62 billion, with a 7-day increase of 5.77%. Among them, the TVL of Arbitrum One network is $7.04 billion, with a 7-day increase of 6.93%; the TVL of OP Mainnet network is $3.16 billion, with a 7-day increase of 5.87%; the TVL of Base network is $0.577 billion, with a 7-day decrease of 0.97%.

According to L2BEAT data reported, the TVL of Ethereum Layer2 network is currently $12.3 billion, with a 7-day increase of 3.73%. Among them, the TVL of Arbitrum One network is $6.88 billion, with a 7-day increase of 5.16%; the TVL of OP Mainnet network is $3.05 billion, with a 7-day increase of 3.04%; the TVL of Base network is $569 million, with a 7-day decrease of 0.49%.

According to L2BEAT data, the TVL of Ethereum Layer2 scaling solution Starknet has dropped to $129 million, a decrease of 20.06% in 7 days.

Ethereum Layer2 solution Scroll announced the launch of its mainnet, TVL has exceeded $13 million. As of the time of writing, TVL has reached $13.87 million, with a 24-hour capital inflow of $672,180.

According to L2BEAT data, the total value locked (TVL) of Ethereum Layer2 has risen to 11.9 billion US dollars, with a 7-day increase of 14.78%. The top five locked amounts are: Arbitrum One ($65.5 billion, 7-day increase of 15.45%); OP Mainnet ($29.9 billion, 7-day increase of 17.23%); Base ($581 million, 7-day increase of 6.84%); zkSync Era ($445 million, 7-day increase of 3.34%); dYdX ($350 million, 7-day increase of 5.60%).

Hyperlane has announced integration with the Ethereum L2 Mode test network, thus achieving seamless interoperability between blockchains. Hyperlane is a gateway for permissionless blockchain connections. It enables users to initiate built-in interoperability, simplifying the complex process of connecting blockchains.

Polygon Labs has launched the Ethereum contract for their new token, POL, which is intended to replace the current token, MATIC. However, users do not need to exchange their MATIC for POL at present. The new token will power a vast ecosystem of zero knowledge-based Layer 2 chains and its launch will pave the way for other aspects of the Polygon 2.0 roadmap to be implemented. The team emphasized that POL is not currently being used for any systems in the Polygon network and staking on both Polygon PoS and Polygon zkEVM is still being performed via the old token, MATIC.

According to an official announcement, Celestia has announced its integration with Arbitrum Orbit as the first modular data availability network. This integration provides developers with the option to publish data to Abritrum One, Abritrum Nova, and Celestia. Arbitrum Orbit allows developers to create their own dedicated Orbit chain, which is compatible with one of Arbitrum's layer 2 (L2) chains: Arbitrum One, Arbitrum Nova, Arbitrum Goerli, or Arbitrum Sepolia, thus creating the most advanced scalable blockchain solution on the market.

Nansen stated in a post that since the Layer2 blockchain Scroll went live on the mainnet last week, it has attracted nearly $20 million in deposits, with the most deposited being ETH, USDC, and USDT. The top 10 Scroll depositors account for 30% of the total Ethereum deposits.
