🚨 The REAL State of Web3 Layers
By Giacomo Barbiery, Head of Growth @ Routescan, from dApps & Mini-Apps Day:

📊 L1s aren’t dead: Cosmos still powers 22% of them. But L2s are exploding, and L3s (especially gaming) are rising fast.

🌀 Rollups 101:

L2: Optimistic rollups still dominate (simple + cheap)
L3: Optimum-style wins (~70%) — gaming doesn’t need full finality

ZK is still the “endgame”... just pricey (for now)

🛠 RAAS wars:

Top provider? 👉 Conduit (36%)

Caldera is quietly building deep in testnet

💻 VM Trends:

EVM = king (86%) but non-EVM (CosmWasm, SVM) is gaining ground

🔎 Block explorers:

BlockScout leads, but 12% of chains go proprietary — a UX disaster waiting to happen
