L2BEAT rebrands as ETHBEAT, expanding beyond Layer 2s to privacy, interop and staking

After more than five years tracking Layer 2s, the team says its scope had already widened beyond L2s, covering ZK components, interop, privacy solutions, tokens and blob usage. Its past work included TVL/TVS dashboards, contract monitoring, the Stages Framework, DAO governance participation, conferences, and native rollups research. Going forward, core domains are L2s, privacy and, soon, liquid staking, plus a new CROPS guide. Its stated mission is helping users understand and reduce dependence on intermediaries, with public funding and published methods.
