Here are the core data and its significance for ETH. ⬇️

The total value locked (TVL) of the Ethereum ecosystem leads the entire network:
• The decentralized finance (DeFi) market on Ethereum and its L2 has a TVL of over $87 billion, accounting for 65%+ of all public chains
• Total TVL has increased by 3.6x since October 2023, while Ethereum still maintains its 50%+ dominance

Ethereum has the highest "Total Value Secured" (TVS) on the entire network:
The Ethereum ecosystem provides security for 56 tokens in the top 100 by market capitalization, with a total value of more than $1.08 trillion→ which is 2.6 times that of the second largest ecosystem (Solana's $404 billion, 20 tokens).

Ethereum hosts the most real-world assets (RWA):
• Government bonds, credit, funds, etc., totaling over $7.7 billion, distributed across Ethereum and its L2 → accounting for 90% of on-chain RWA
• Since January 2022, the supply of RWA on Ethereum has increased tenfold.

Ethereum can carry the most TVL, stablecoins, and RWAs because it is the most trustworthy.
Trust Comes from Security:
✅ Over 1 million validators
✅ Multi-client architecture with no single point of failure
✅ Ten years of stable operation
