Introduction

🥧 Welcome to growthepie

growthepie is your go-to source for metrics, analysis, and insights across the Ethereum ecosystem - from Mainnet to Layer 2s and Ethereum-aligned sidechains.

We measure how these networks are used, what drives their growth, and how they contribute to Ethereum’s overall success.

Our Mission

We want Ethereum to thrive - and that means helping its scaling solutions and applications succeed.

By providing transparent data on how chains are used and what for, we empower Layer 2 teams, app builders, and the broader community to make better decisions, grow sustainably, and align around a shared goal: growing the pie for everyone.

What We Cover

The Full Ethereum Stack: We track everything from Mainnet fundamentals to layer 2s, to data availability layers, and other aligned chains like Polygon PoS (soon).

Application Metrics: See what users actually do on each network - from DeFi and gaming to NFTs and social apps. Our goal is to understand real usage, not just raw transaction counts.

Blockspace Analytics: We go beyond high-level KPIs to analyze how blockspace is used. Which apps dominate activity? Which use cases are growing fastest? How efficiently do chains scale?

Economics: How much are chains making in fees, and how much do they have to pay towards DA and settlement,

Project Comparisons: Compare chains and ecosystems side-by-side. Understand their trade-offs in cost, decentralization, and adoption.

Ecosystem Insights: Get an overview of how Ethereum’s scaling layers evolve - and how together, they strengthen the network’s security, decentralization, and user experience.

Why growthepie?

The Ethereum landscape moves fast. New Layer 2s launch, applications surge, and activity patterns shift daily.

growthepie helps you cut through the noise with transparent, data-driven insights on how Ethereum scales - in practice.

Whether you’re:

• Building a Layer 2 or app

• Researching network adoption

• Investing in the ecosystem

• Or simply exploring

→ growthepie gives you the clarity and context to navigate Ethereum’s growth story.

Let’s grow the pie together.

Explore. Build. Measure. Improve.

Because the more we understand Ethereum, the stronger it becomes.
