What the dashboard will show.
The dashboard as it will open in Vantage. Each figure is named here and arrives with its receipt; until its data is published, its place stays empty.
All layer 2s
Net canonical bridge flows for every covered layer 2.
Net stablecoin flow, period
USDStablecoins deposited minus stablecoin withdrawals finalized across covered canonical bridges over the selected period.
Largest net inflow
The layer 2 with the largest net inflow over the selected period, with the amount and its share of all deposits.
Withdrawals pending
USDValue of withdrawals started on covered layer 2s and not yet finalized on Ethereum at the latest read.
Net flow by layer 2
USDEach layer 2's deposits minus finalized withdrawals over the selected period, with ETH and stablecoins shown apart.
One layer 2
Deposits and withdrawals for the chosen layer 2, by token and day.
Deposits, period
USDValue deposited through the chosen layer 2's canonical bridge over the selected period.
Withdrawals finalized, period
USDValue released from the chosen layer 2's canonical bridge by finalized withdrawals over the selected period.

USDThe chosen layer 2's deposits over the selected period, split by token.
Deposits and withdrawals by day
USDDaily deposits and finalized withdrawals for the chosen layer 2, with the net flow drawn as a line.

About
What it answers, and for whom.
Every rollup has a canonical bridge: contracts on Ethereum that lock what users deposit and release it when a withdrawal is proven. This dashboard counts the deposits going in and the withdrawals coming out of each covered layer 2's canonical bridge each day, for ETH, stablecoins and other major tokens. It then shows the net flow, chain by chain.
Net flows show where capital is moving between Ethereum and its layer 2s, which balances alone hide: a chain can hold a steady total while large deposits and withdrawals cancel out. Withdrawals are counted when they are finalized on Ethereum, the moment assets actually leave the bridge, and those still waiting are shown apart.
Only canonical bridges are counted. Assets that reach a layer 2 through third-party bridges, intent networks or burn-and-mint routes such as Circle's CCTP for native USDC never touch the canonical escrow, so the dashboard lists them as outside its scope rather than mixing them in.
Method
How it will be measured.
Every figure will be read at a block, kept with its source and its exact read, and open a receipt anyone can re-check.
How receipts work →- Deposits are read from each bridge's own events on Ethereum: on OP Stack chains, TransactionDeposited and the standard bridge's deposit events; on Arbitrum, MessageDelivered and gateway DepositInitiated; on ZK rollups, their bridges' deposit events.
- Withdrawals are counted when finalized on Ethereum: WithdrawalFinalized on OP Stack portals, OutBoxTransactionExecuted on Arbitrum and the finalization events of each ZK rollup's bridge.
- Amounts are exact token amounts from the events, valued at oracle prices at the block of each transfer; ETH, stablecoins and other tokens are kept in separate series.
- Withdrawals started on a layer 2 but not yet finalized are shown as pending, so a burst of exits shows before the assets leave the bridge.
- Every daily figure names the Ethereum block range it was summed over and the bridge contracts read.

Questions
Questions people ask.
What is a canonical bridge?
A rollup's own bridge, whose contracts on Ethereum hold deposited assets and release them only when the rollup's proof system confirms a withdrawal. Assets in it are secured by the rollup itself, unlike tokens brought in by a third-party bridge.
Why are withdrawals counted when they are finalized?
On optimistic rollups a withdrawal waits about a week between being started on the layer 2 and being released on Ethereum. Counting it at finalization matches the moment the assets leave the bridge, and withdrawals still waiting are shown as pending.
Why are USDC flows missing for some chains?
Native USDC moves between chains through Circle's CCTP, which burns it on one chain and mints it on another, so it never passes through a canonical bridge. Those transfers are outside this dashboard's scope and are labelled as such.
Does a net outflow mean a layer 2 is shrinking?
Not necessarily. Assets can leave through third-party bridges or exchanges, and value can be created on the layer 2 itself. Net canonical flows show one route in and out; the L2 TVL dashboard shows the full balance by source.
- Canonical bridge
- A rollup's own bridge contracts on Ethereum, which hold deposits and release them only on withdrawals its proof system confirms.
- Net flow
- Deposits minus finalized withdrawals over a period, for one bridge and token.
- Pending withdrawal
- A withdrawal started on a layer 2 that has not yet been finalized on Ethereum.
