2026 L2 Graveyard: 10 shutdowns in 9 months
$BLAST raised $2.51B on airdrop hype
Last month? $1,793 in revenue
Now it's dead
10 Ethereum L2s closed or closing this year
Combined peak TVL: ~$3.6B
Airdrop farmers extracted everything. Teams cashed out. Users got rekt.
This is what happens when tokenomics = exit liquidity and there's zero real usage post-launch.
L2 narrative is cooked unless you're $ARB $OP or Base. Everyone else fighting for scraps.
