Etherlink, Tezos’ EVM-compatible Layer 2, now reside on Dune, enabling detailed evaluation of community exercise, DeFi, and cross-chain flows.
Etherlink, the EVM-compatible Layer 2 constructed on Tezos Good Rollup know-how, is now out there for evaluation on Dune. This integration allows researchers, builders, and establishments to discover Etherlink’s onchain exercise alongside different main blockchain networks, utilizing Dune’s standardized SQL-based analytics.
Launched as one of many first enshrined optimistic rollups, Etherlink combines Ethereum-level tooling compatibility with Tezos’ liquid proof-of-stake consensus. Key design options embody enshrined rollup structure, EVM equivalence for seamless Solidity contract deployment, and low transaction prices averaging $0.001 with sub-second affirmation occasions.
Etherlink’s distinctive method as an enshrined rollup means its core infrastructure—validation logic, fraud-proof techniques, and message processing—is embedded immediately into Tezos’ Layer 1 protocol. This eliminates reliance on exterior contracts, enhancing safety and governance. Upgrades to Etherlink are ruled by Tezos’ decentralized, on-chain voting mechanism, giving the community’s bakers the ultimate say on key modifications.
Builders can deploy customary Ethereum tooling akin to MetaMask, Hardhat, and The Graph on Etherlink, with charges paid in tez (Tezos’ native token). Cross-chain interoperability can also be a spotlight, with assist for native bridging between Etherlink, Tezos L1, Ethereum, and different EVM networks through LayerZero and different options.
Since exiting beta in early 2025, Etherlink has attracted main DeFi protocols, together with Curve, Midas, Hanji, and Gearbox, and hosted incentive applications like Apple Farm, which distributed over $6 million in rewards throughout two seasons. Its roadmap features a vital improve, “Tezos X,” slated for testnet in Could 2026 and a mainnet governance vote in June. This improve will permit seamless interplay between Tezos good contracts and Etherlink’s EVM setting.
With the Dune integration, customers can now question Etherlink’s exercise intimately, overlaying:
Transaction volumes, gasoline charges in tez, and sequencer throughput
DeFi metrics akin to TVL, borrowing, and DEX quantity
Stablecoin transfers, holder distributions, and cross-chain flows
Bridge exercise between Etherlink, Tezos L1, and different EVM chains
Good contract deployments and utilization developments
Dune’s queryable dashboards simplify monitoring Etherlink’s adoption and efficiency, putting it in context with different blockchain networks. As Etherlink continues to evolve, its availability on Dune can be instrumental for evaluating its influence on each the Tezos ecosystem and the broader Ethereum-compatible DeFi area.
