What are the top apps on Ethereum L2s?

Over the last 30 days, the top apps on Ethereum L2s are: **Redstone Finance (28.02M)** by transactions; **Circle Internet Financial, LLC. (2.47M)** by active addresses (summed across chains); and **Infinitism (ERC-4337) - Account Abstraction ($185.1k)** by gas fees paid. Top 10 by transactions: 1. Redstone Finance (28.02M); 2. Infinitism (ERC-4337) - Account Abstraction (15.66M); 3. Circle Internet Financial, LLC. (15.09M); 4. AWP (15.01M); 5. Tether (14.98M); 6. Uniswap (11.94M); 7. KyberSwap (9.53M); 8. Loot Survivor (6.93M); 9. World Markets (5.15M); 10. Lunarbase (3.35M). Data: 2026-05-27 UTC. Live leaderboards: [growthepie.com/applications](https://www.growthepie.com/applications).

How is "top app" defined here?

We rank by three independent metrics and present all three so a single number can't mislead you. **Transaction count** is total transactions sent to the app's contracts across L2s. **Active addresses** is the sum of unique addresses interacting with the app per chain (summed across chains — see the cross-chain caveat below). **Gas fees paid** is the USD-denominated fees the app's users have paid to L2 sequencers. A high ranking by gas fees but low ranking by transactions suggests an app with infrequent but expensive transactions (e.g. heavy compute, large swaps). High by transactions and addresses but low by gas fees suggests cheap, high-frequency activity (e.g. memecoin trading on a low-fee L2).

Which app has the most transactions on Ethereum L2s?

Over the last 30 days, the top app by transactions on Ethereum L2s is **Redstone Finance (28.02M)**. Full top 10 by transactions (across all L2s): 1. Redstone Finance (28.02M); 2. Infinitism (ERC-4337) - Account Abstraction (15.66M); 3. Circle Internet Financial, LLC. (15.09M); 4. AWP (15.01M); 5. Tether (14.98M); 6. Uniswap (11.94M); 7. KyberSwap (9.53M); 8. Loot Survivor (6.93M); 9. World Markets (5.15M); 10. Lunarbase (3.35M).

Which app has the most active addresses on Ethereum L2s?

Over the last 30 days, the top app by active addresses on Ethereum L2s is **Circle Internet Financial, LLC. (2.47M)**. Full top 10 by active addresses (summed across chains; see cross-chain caveat below): 1. Circle Internet Financial, LLC. (2.47M); 2. Tether (1.62M); 3. Uniswap (734.0k); 4. Focus Tree (237.5k); 5. Relay (187.9k); 6. Mento Protocol (182.4k); 7. LI.FI (133.2k); 8. 0x Protocol (89.8k); 9. OKX (88.7k); 10. Coinbase (81.6k).

Which app pays the most gas fees on Ethereum L2s?

Over the last 30 days, the top app by gas fees paid on Ethereum L2s is **Infinitism (ERC-4337) - Account Abstraction ($185.1k)**. Full top 10 by gas fees paid (USD, summed across chains): 1. Infinitism (ERC-4337) - Account Abstraction ($185.1k); 2. Uniswap ($129.7k); 3. Extended Exchange ($82.5k); 4. Redstone Finance ($51.3k); 5. OKX ($35.3k); 6. GMX ($29.0k); 7. Circle Internet Financial, LLC. ($28.6k); 8. Blazing ($27.9k); 9. AWP ($25.6k); 10. Tether ($24.0k). Gas fees paid is a useful "economic weight" signal — apps high on this list are paying real money to operate on L2s and contribute meaningfully to chain revenue.

What are the top apps by category on Ethereum L2s?

We rank the top 5 apps in each main category by transaction count. Categories are sorted by combined transaction count (the largest category first). See the per-category section above for the full breakdown — the page renders one ranked list per category.

Why are active addresses summed across chains?

Because the source data exposes daily active addresses per (app, chain), not per app across chains. Summing across chains is the most we can do without an address-overlap dataset. A user who interacts with the same app on multiple L2s in the same window will be counted once per chain — so an app spanning many chains may rank higher by this metric than its true unique-address count would suggest. The transaction count and gas fees rankings are not affected by this caveat.

What window are these rankings computed over?

The last 30 days. We use this window for the headline lists because it's long enough to smooth out single-day spikes and short enough to reflect current activity. growthepie's [applications dashboard](https://www.growthepie.com/applications) lets you switch between 1d / 7d / 30d / 90d / 1y / max windows interactively.

Is Polygon PoS counted as an L2 here?

No. Polygon PoS is a sidechain with its own validator set and is excluded from these app rankings, matching the rest of the answer pages on growthepie. Polygon zkEVM is a ZK rollup and is included.

Is Ethereum mainnet activity counted?

No. Apps that operate on both Ethereum mainnet and L2s will only have their L2 activity counted in these rankings. Mainnet rows in the source data are filtered out before aggregation.

How many L2s are included?

25 chains. The full list (computed on 2026-05-27 UTC from growthepie's master chain catalogue) is: arbitrum, arbitrum_nova, base, celo, fraxtal, gravity, ink, linea, lisk, loopring, manta, mantle, megaeth, metis, mode, optimism, plume, ronin, scroll, soneium, starknet, taiko, unichain, worldchain, zksync_era. An app contributes to the rankings if it has activity on at least one chain in that list.

Where does this answer come from?

App metrics come from growthepie's applications overview endpoint (`/v1/apps/app_overview_30d.json`), which exposes per-(project, chain) rollups of transaction count, active addresses, and gas fees paid (USD) over the chosen window. App metadata — display name and main category — comes from growthepie's projects-filtered labels endpoint (`/v1/labels/projects_filtered.json`). L2 membership comes from `master.json` (chains where `bucket !== "Layer 1"` and `chain_type` indicates an Ethereum rollup or validium). Sidechain exclusions on 2026-05-27 UTC: Polygon PoS. No editorial overrides.

What if an app is missing from the rankings?

Apps need to be in growthepie's labelled-contracts dataset to show up. Unlabelled contracts roll up under "Unlabeled" in the blockspace view but don't appear here as named apps. If you operate an app and want it tracked, see growthepie's [labels portal](https://www.growthepie.com/labels) for the contract-submission flow.

Why is the "gas fees paid" number much smaller than typical fee discussions?

Because this number is what the app's USERS paid in total fees to L2 sequencers over the window — not the cost per transaction. A widely-used L2 app can pay millions of dollars in cumulative fees over 30 days while individual transactions cost fractions of a cent. For per-transaction fee costs, see growthepie's [/answers/lowest-fee-ethereum-l2](/answers/lowest-fee-ethereum-l2).

Where can I see live app data?

growthepie's [applications dashboard](https://www.growthepie.com/applications) lists every tracked app on every supported chain with sortable columns for transactions, active addresses, gas fees, and chain breakdowns. Each app has a detail page at `/applications/{owner_project}` with per-chain charts and metadata.

How is "Ethereum L2" defined here?

An Ethereum Layer 2 is a chain that derives security from Ethereum by posting transaction data and/or state to Ethereum mainnet. This includes optimistic rollups, ZK rollups, and Validiums. Sidechains (independent validator sets, like Polygon PoS) are excluded.
