According to Etherscan data, the main source of income from layer scaling chains 2 (L2)-“Drop fees”-GOODS TO THE lowest weekly levels.
In the week ending on March 30, Ethereum earned only 3.18 ether (ETH) from the drops for droplets, According to to Etherscan or about 6000 American dollars as of April 1.

Post-Dencun growing pain
In March 2024, Dencun Ethereum was updated by L2 transaction data to fleeting offchain stores called “Blobs”.
According to data, Vaneck Vaneck reduced the costs of updating for users, but also reduced the general revenues of fees for Ethereum – initially by up to 95%.
“ETH fees were poor due to the lack of revenue from theft, because L2S did not fill the available capacity,” said Matthew Sigel, head of research on Vaneck’s assets, said on November 1, 2024. post On platform X.
Since then, the boost in blob fees has been uncertain. Weekly income from Blob Ethereum fees reached the highest level of almost $ 1 million in November, before it fell sharply in recent weeks, according to data from Dune Analytics.

Ethereum’s continuous struggle to obtain significant income from the theft fees emphasizes concerns about the model of scaling of the network, which is largely based on L2S in terms of transaction bandwidth.
“The future of Ethereum talks about how effectively it serves as a data availability engine for L2S,” said Arndxt, author of The Threading on the Edge Newsletter post.
According to X post By Michael Nadeau, the founder of the DEFI report, the volume of transaction L2 would have to boost over 22,000 to obtain blob fees to fully compensate the peak revenues from the Ethereum transaction fee.
However, Ethereum economics is still developing. For example, the improvement of Pectra on the web – which aims to significantly change the way Ethereum assigns the blob space – is planned for this year.
“The plan is simple: ethereum scaling as much as possible to capture as many market as possible – worry about the revenues of fees later”, Sassal, founder of Daily Gwei, he said In the post of March 17.
