User Behavior (redux)
Tasks
- How is user behavior different on Optimism compared to L1?
- create a comparison between swaps and transactions on ETH mainnet vs Optimism, looking for things like
- daily swap volume
- daily active users
- average volume swapped
- What are the average fees for a swap on Optimism compared to ETH Mainnet?
Dashboard Guide
- This dashboard compares user behavior in Uniswap-V3 on Optimism and Ethereum.
- We provide the image descriptions in the left column.
- We use USD as a unit for all swap volume, and ETH for all fees generated
- The reader can change the past day parameter for a longer period, however, The analysis is provided based on 30 past days.
Methodology
To compare user behavior between Optimism and ethereum, we divided this dashboard into 4 sections.
- Swaps Overview- swap volume, swap count, wallet count, pool count, and daily average measures are provided.
- Swap volume distribution - provide general statistics, distribution, and daily swap volume per swap.
- Peak time by swap count - show peak time based on swap count
- fees generated - to identify how cheap is fees on L2?
Parameters
- past_days: Number of last days to be included in calculations.

The table on the right shows the peak time ranked by transaction count for each day of the week and time of day.
- Optimism’s peak time is daytime on Friday, Tuesday, and Monday. While Ethereum's peak time is intense on Tuesday evenings.
- The two figures below show the complete information on each time for each period.

Total, daily average, per-swap average fees generated
- The total swap count in the first section shows that the swap count on Ethereum is roughly 3x more than on Optimism. However, fees generated by Optimism are more than 100x smaller than on Ethereum.
- From a different point of view, the per-swap average fees on Optimism are also 54x smaller than on Ethereum.
- Thus, these two bullets can show confirm that cheap fees on L2.

Conclusion
- Ethereum wins both total and daily average information measurements.
- On a daily basis, the trends are similar on both blockchains, with some magnitude larger in value on Ethereum.
- The differences in behavior between users on Ethereum and Optimism are on the swap volume and peak time
- Ethereum has larger swap count on mid-large volume and a smaller count on small volume.
- Optimism's peak time is daytime on Friday, Tuesday, and Monday, while Ethereum’s peak is intense on Tuesday evening.
