Significant changes have emerged in the Layer 1 ecosystem landscape in 2025. Speculative funds are clearly concentrated on a few high-throughput chains, while Ethereum continues to deepen its Rollup ecosystem strategy. Meanwhile, the differences among various blockchain layers have further widened, showing a diversification in functions and positioning.

From these Layer 1 development trends, the market is transitioning from single-chain competition to multi-layer ecosystem segmentation. High-throughput chains mainly support trading speculation, while the Ethereum ecosystem focuses on scaling solutions and long-term ecosystem development. This differentiation not only reflects different technical route choices but also demonstrates market participants' re-evaluation of each chain's value positioning. Mainstream public chains are clarifying their own tracks rather than blindly pursuing all-in-one positioning.

Speculative funds are all piling into high-throughput chains, while Ethereum is leisurely working on Rollup. This divergence is truly remarkable. Each chain has found its own way to thrive, no longer pretending to be all-in-one players. This is the healthy ecosystem. To put it simply, speculative traders and long-term believers are going their separate ways, each doing their own thing. Ethereum is playing this game steadily; it all depends on who can laugh last. Multi-chain division of labor looks good, but few can really survive.

Well... to put it simply, it's still the Matthew Effect, with money piling up at the top. ETH's rollup strategy is really a long-term game for me, unlike other chains that are so eager for quick gains. It's good to hear that each chain is finding its own position, but the reality is—either make money or die. How long can high-throughput chains sustain the speculative boom? 🤔 ETH is still ETH, as for others... just watching the excitement.

Forget it, I still prefer to watch the ETH ecosystem gradually gain momentum rather than chasing after trendy chains. --- High throughput = a concentrated camp for cutting leeks, my wallet refuses. --- Finally, someone clarified that each chain has its own way, don't all try to become super public chains. --- Rollup is the future, those betting on the ETH ecosystem are making a killing. --- Speculative funds clustering on high throughput chains? Just wait to be harvested. --- The multi-chain division of labor should have been like this a long time ago; it's only now that it's clear how ridiculous it is. --- ETH's move was brilliant, let the competitors fight over throughput.

Basically, all the money is flowing into high-throughput chains, while ETH is still slowly building its ecosystem... The divergence was long overdue. The crypto world can just play by their own rules; no one can dominate everything. Will ETH's rollup ecosystem really take off? It's still a bit uncertain. Speculative funds love to rush into faster places, which is normal. Who cares about long-term development? As the industry becomes more segmented, will the ecosystem become more fragmented? This wave of divergence feels like the market's self-correction, not a bad thing. High-throughput chains burn through money; they still need to focus on ecosystem development.

nah, this is just the market finally figuring out what should've been obvious from day one... high throughput chains are literally just gambling dens at this point, tbh. ethereum's doing the actual work with rollups while everyone else is chasing shitcoin volume. demonstrably more efficient architecture, mathematically superior in every metric that actually matters.
