The latest Layer 2 cryptographic data released by Phoenix Group and LunarCrush as of November 4, 2025 shows that Layer 2 projects are showing a serious upsurge in social activity. ZK and Linea became leaders, a result of increased investor interest in scalability solutions. ZK shared posts with 6.4K engagement and over 1.1M interactions, while Linea has the closest score with 5.9K posts with engagement and a whopping 2.1M interactions, which is the highest among all competitors.

The data points out that even though ZK posted more posts, Linea's content received more attention, indicating a more active and responsive community base.
Starknet and Celo secure mid-tier momentum
Starknet (STRK) and Celo showed high engagement numbers in the middle tier of social traction. Starknet has 2,3,000 active posts and 830,600 interactions, indicating that the community is very active regarding ecosystem updates and decentralized app integration.
However, Celo is primarily referred to as a Layer 1 chain, still incorporates Layer 2 compatible tools, and is gaining new momentum. Celo had 1.6,000 active posts and 1.8 million interactions, compared to many existing projects that have fewer user interactions. This hype can be explained by its sustainability-focused narrative and increasing usage in mobile DeFi apps.
Stack and Arbitrum maintain stable activity across Layer 2
Stacks (STX) and Arbitrum (ARB) were also stable in the rankings and showed their relevance over time in a highly competitive market. Stacks recorded 1.5,000 engaged posts and 265,000 interactions, demonstrating resilience for user-driven conversations amid broader market fluctuations.
At the same time, Arbitrum, one of the oldest layer 2 solutions, received 1.3K posts with engagement and 106.3K interactions. Although its interaction level was lower than newer ones, it still remains influential due to its robust developer experience and extensive DeFi integration. Analysts say Arbitrum's focus on governance and interoperability will boost its social metrics in the coming weeks.
Zora and Immutable X captivate creative and gaming crowds
Upcoming competitors with active niche activity include Zora and Immutable X (IMX). With 1.3K active posts and 115K interactions, Zora has become a hub for NFT creators and digital artists, especially since the introduction of the Enhanced Mint protocol.
Blockchain gaming company Immutable X has 11,000 recorded posts and 280,300 interactions. That metric reflects the growing enthusiasm for the Play-to-Earn ecosystem and tokenized gaming assets.
As blockchain gaming regains investor attention, Immutable X's performance highlights how entertainment-driven platforms can leverage community interaction to compete with financial Layer 2 networks.
Polygon and Mantle round out the rankings
At the bottom, Polygon (POL) and Mantle (MNT) started reporting similar, albeit smaller, engagement footprints. Polygon recorded 991 engaged posts and 134,200 interactions, suggesting the company is still discussing rebranding and ecosystem membership.
Polygon is one of Layer 2's oldest success stories, but competition from newer ones like Linea and ZK is more difficult.
Meanwhile, Mantle completed the list with 878 active posts and 80.3K interactions. Although Mantle's interaction metrics are low, Mantle is currently moving towards a modular layer 2 infrastructure and has the potential for growth in the future.
Layer 2 ecosystem that reflects strong community growth
General statistics are a bright example of a changing Layer 2 ecosystem, where social activity can be used as a key indicator of community strength and market relevance.
These engagement metrics determine which Layer 2 networks are beginning to capture the public's imagination. Social signals will become increasingly important as a tool that allows investors to assess network momentum and could be at the heart of the next wave of blockchain expansion.
