According to a recent report from Delphi Digital, the price of ether has remained relatively stable over the past month, while competitors such as Solana (SOL) and Fantom (FTM) saw over 200% growth over the same period.

One of the reasons behind the protests in Fantom (FTM), Avalanche (AVAX) and Terra (LUNA) was the launch of a series of multi-million dollar incentive programs designed to attract new developers, investors and liquidity to ecosystems.
These initiatives have sparked a spate of new activity and cross-chain money transfers from the Ethereum network to Layer 1 projects, and Solana has made the biggest profit by far.

It’s not just Ethereum’s Layer 1 competitors that have seen an increase in activity over the past few months. The introduction of several new Layer 2 solutions and an airdrop of the dYdX exchange (DYDX) have led to an increase in the gas consumption of Layer 2 protocols.

Data from Delphi Digital shows that the gas content of Layer 2 solutions is now above 1% after increasing to 2% in early September.
Thanks to its partnership with Starkware, DYdX was one of the first to adopt Layer 2 technology and, in the last few weeks, after an airdrop of the DYDX Governance Token on September 8th for users using the protocol.
