• How is user behavior different on Optimism compared to L1?
    • Specifically, create a comparison between swaps and transactions on ETH mainnet vs Optimism, looking for things like daily swap volume, daily active users, and average volume swapped (use a single DEX for your comparison, either Uniswap or Sushiswap).
    • L2 is far cheaper but by how much? What are the average fees for a swap on Optimism compared to ETH Mainnet?

    • The main difference between layer-1 vs layer-2 scalability solutions lies in their role and focus on the blockchain. Layer-1 is here to improve the blockchain architecture, while layer-2 is here to build third-party networks on top of the main blockchain.

    • Daily number of swappers on Optimism increased slightly, while Ethereum decreased.
    • The charts above show the volume of transactions in Ethereum and Optimism.
    • The highest amount for Ethereum was on May 12th with approximately 8.2M. We can see that the figure fluctuated a lot and experienced many spikes.
    • The highest amount of Optimism happened on August 4 with nearly 173k.
    • The charts above illustrate the daily number of unique users for both Ethereum and Optimism.

    • The highest amount for Ethereum was on July 26 with around 960k users. We can see that despite some spikes, the number of users remained stable throughout the period shown.

    • The highest number of users on Optimism occurred on June 1st with around 106k unique users. We can see an increase since the end of September and October.

    • As we know, Layer 2 chains have fewer fees than layer 1 chains, and this reason made people migrate from layer 1 to layer 2.
    • The highest amount of Ethereum was on May 1 with 81 k and 251 for Optimism.

    I terms of daily swaps, we can see that Ethereum experienced a decrease on October, while the figure for Optimism increased.

    The charts above show daily active Swappers on Ethereum and Optimism. The highest amount for Ethereum is 5230, and 415 for Optimism.

    • The average swap size is shown in the bar chart, and we can see a decrease on Ethereum .
