Arbitrum setting the pace, rest playing catch-up. The ecosystem's already proven its staying power in the layer-2 race—developer adoption, TVL retention, and ecosystem momentum separate the leaders from the pack. When one protocol runs this deep, others find themselves perpetually one step behind.

ngl, arbitrum's dominance here is kinda fascinating from a pedagogical standpoint—let me break this down for my students: when you've got that network effect flywheel spinning, TVL gravity becomes almost impossible to escape. the gap isn't just technical anymore, it's behavioral economics at scale. everyone else's basically playing catch-up in slow motion fr

This wave of ARB really has some substance; others truly can't catch up in terms of ecosystem depth.

Arbitrum this wave is indeed impressive, but the saying that it always stays one step ahead is a bit too absolute; it depends on who can truly come up with a big move next.

Arbitrum is showing off again, while other L2s are still standing still.
