The growth of Ethereum's Layer 2 roll-ups in 2024

Ethereum's Layer 2 roll-ups are experiencing significant growth, with the total value locked in layer twos reaching almost 20 billion. The security of roll-ups is improving, with the deployment of more fraud proofs and the introduction of security councils. The ecosystem is becoming more decentralized, and there are over 20 live roll-ups offering various types of solutions. Companies like Espresso and Conduit are building infrastructure to support the deployment of more roll-ups. While progress has been made, there is still work to be done, such as achieving true decentralization and enhancing tooling support. The future looks promising as Ethereum enters a pivotal point in scaling its ecosystem.
