Explore networks
Using Ethereum today means interacting with hundreds of different networks and apps. All backed by Ethereum as the foundational backbone.
Filters (5)
Robust
Fully decentralized and secure network that cannot be tampered with or stopped by any individual or group, including its creators.
This is a network that fulfills Ethereum's vision of decentralization.
Maturing
A network transitioning to being decentralized. A group of actors still may be able to halt the network in extreme situations.
Developing
A centralized operator runs the network but adds fail-safe features to reduce risks of centralization.
Emerging
A centralized operator runs the network. The data is publicly visible on Ethereum to verify whether the operator is being honest.

Looking for more advanced overview?
Many of the projects are still young and somewhat experimental.
For more information on the technology, risks and trust assumptions of these networks, we recommend checking out L2BEAT, which provides a comprehensive risk assessment framework of each project and growthepie for general data analysis.
We review the network’s progress towards Ethereum alignment (opens in a new tab) (total value locked (TVL)), time live in production, and risk considerations. These levels help track network development and provide a standardized way for the community to evaluate progress.
Technical progress alone is not enough, user adoption and age are essential part of the overall strength and maturity on any network.
| Maturity | Requirements |
|---|---|
Robust | • Stage 2 • At least $1B TVL |
Maturing | • Stage 1 • At least $150M TVL • 6+ months live in production |
Developing | • Stage 0 • Risk assessment: 3/5 (L2beat) • At least $150M TVL • 6+ months live in production |
Emerging | • Stage 0 • Risk assessment: 2/5 (L2beat) • At least $150M TVL or 6+ months live in production |
