According to data compiled from crypto ETF issuer Bitwise, there was an average of more than 250,000 daily active users of Ethereum and its scaling solutions Arbitrum and Polygon in Q1 2020, with the lion’s share coming from the Ethereum layer-1 mainnet.

As of the first quarter of 2024, this daily user number — which now also includes the since-launched layer-2 networks Optimism, Base and zkSync — hit around 2.25 million, nearly nine times greater.
