Key Takeaways
- Ethereum (ETH) miners generated USD 1.19B in revenues in February. Roughly 87% of the revenues came from block subsidies, while around 13% came from transaction fees.
- Layer 2 solution Immutable X (IMX) was the key target for a $200M raise in a Series C round for developer Immutable. The solution uses technology from Starkware to achieve scalability and remove gas fees.
- Cronos (CRO) saw a +7.96% increase in total transactions to 19.94M, while its TVL grew to $2.38B (+22.01% week-on-week). The total number of wallet addresses now stands at 515,586, up +27.76% from last week.
