According to Castle Labs data, Layer 1 tokens faced significant headwinds this year, with most major players sliding into red territory. Ethereum dropped 15.3%, while Solana saw a steeper decline of 35.9%. The situation grew worse for several others—Sui fell 67.3%, Avalanche tumbled 67.9%, and Ton hit hard with a 73.8% loss. Even Hype couldn't escape, down 6.5% year-to-date. The bright spots? BNB managed to gain 18.2%, and Tron posted a modest 9.8% advance, standing out as rare winners in an otherwise bearish L1 landscape. These disparities highlight how different Layer 1 ecosystems are tracking amid shifting market dynamics and investor sentiment.

SOL0.35%

SUI-0.81%

Sol was directly cut in half, this is the current situation of Web3 this year. --- BNB and Tron are actually still rising, while others are bleeding out... --- SUI dropped 67%, which is outrageous. Who still dares to touch it? --- ETH dropped 15%, which still feels relatively resilient, but this data depends on the time period. --- Is the differentiation among L1 really that severe? Feels like choosing the wrong one means GG. --- It's really surprising that Tron can rise, I thought it would be a total wipeout. --- This is why everyone says not to go all-in on a single L1; the gap is so big... --- TON actually dropped the most, even though it was so hyped before. --- BNB's 18% increase is quite eye-catching in this environment. --- Looking at this data, I really have nothing to say. The entire L1 track has been a disaster this year.

SOL has dropped so much, and you still have the nerve to call yourself an Ethereum killer? Laughable. BNB and TRON are still more stable.

SOL down 35.9%, isn't that painful enough? TONE is already down 73.8%, brother, now that's real bloodshed. BNB and TRON are really gods; all other L1s are in hell mode, and only these two are making money? Wait, are these data from the beginning of the year until now? Feels like it’s only dropped this much? I remember it being worse.

SOL dropped 35%, and you still have the nerve to call it an ecosystem? Are people really buying this? BNB and TRON actually made money—what kind of magical operation is this?
