Yeah, Ethereum has been the big boys play type of game that requires some certain level of reputable team to deploy on it. If you've been in the system you'll definitely noticed that projects built on Ethereum had been very classic and comes with different style of development. Arbitrum and Optimism has been those projects I've been keeping an eye on to bring lots of liquidity into the Ethereum ecosystem.
Eigenlayer and the rest are pretty new though and I don't know how much volume they must have accumulated and expanded to affect the price of Ethereum positively.
You’re right…Ethereum has always sets a high standard, it’s not the kind of network just any random project without solid utility can launch on. That’s why we see projects built on Ethereum having a unique edge in terms of tech and execution.
Also, Arbitrum and Optimism have been major players in the ecosystem and no doubt Eigenlayer, is also pulling volume as well. As for Tanssi, i’m still watching it coz it listed recently but i love the concept behind it. It’s certain adoption would keep growing and i think all these projects would play a big role in further increasing Ethereum’s value over time. Time would tell, let’s see how it plays out.
