ETHBEAT Rebrands From L2BEAT, Expands Scope
The Ethereum analytics site now covers privacy, staking, and other parts of the ecosystem beyond Layer 2 networks.
Updated on Nov. 4, 2026 in Economic Indicators
L2BEAT, the analytics site best known for tracking Ethereum Layer 2 networks, has rebranded as ETHBEAT, with the change announced alongside Devcon 8 in Mumbai. The site's coverage now extends to privacy, interoperability, staking, and other parts of the Ethereum ecosystem, while Layer 2 monitoring remains a core function.
Why it matters
The rebrand reflects how the Ethereum ecosystem has broadened beyond scaling networks into areas such as privacy and staking. A wider analytics scope gives users and developers a single reference point across more of the network.
ETHBEAT's own metrics show $983 million in value locked across 16 reviewed privacy protocols, up 19.1% year-on-year, with $3.94 billion in deposits up 50.1% over the same period. The source does not describe how these figures were verified.
The players
L2BEAT
L2BEAT is an analytics platform that tracks Ethereum Layer 2 networks and is now operating under the ETHBEAT name.
ETHBEAT
ETHBEAT is the rebranded analytics site covering privacy, interoperability, staking, and other parts of the Ethereum ecosystem.
Devcon 8
Devcon 8 is the Ethereum developer conference held in Mumbai, where the rebrand was announced.
The details
ETHBEAT launched the CROPS guide, a framework that assesses projects on censorship resistance, openness, privacy, and security. The site now provides coverage of interoperability, tokens, zero-knowledge components, and blobs, and it plans to cover liquid staking research and base-layer changes to Ethereum.
Timeline
2021: L2BEAT launched to track Ethereum Layer 2 metrics.
November 4, 2026: L2BEAT rebranded as ETHBEAT alongside Devcon 8.
Market Landscape
ETHBEAT's expansion from L2BEAT's 2021 Layer 2 tracking into privacy and staking reflects a shift toward covering the full Ethereum stack rather than scaling networks alone. The move positions the site as a broader reference point for ecosystem metrics.
Users who rely on ETHBEAT for Layer 2 data will now find privacy, staking, and interoperability metrics in the same place. Readers tracking privacy protocol deposits can use the site's reported figures as a starting reference rather than piecing together separate sources.
The takeaway
Ethereum's analytics now cover far more than its scaling networks, so readers comparing privacy and staking activity can consult one tracker that reports value locked and deposit trends directly.
What happens next
Liquid staking research is expected soon, and ETHBEAT plans to cover base-layer changes to Ethereum.
