> **Visual Note:** A triptych of candlestick charts shows the dramatic decline of three Ethereum Layer 2 tokens over a two-year period from 2025 to 2026: $POL (Polygon) down 90.57%, $OP (Optimism) down 96.96%, and $ARB (Arbitrum) down 94.06%, visually reinforcing the post's claim that Ethereum L2s have been a "wealth destruction" for investors.

> "Ethereum L2s have been a wealth destruction over the last 2 years.
$POL
 is down 90%.
$ARB
 is down 94%.
$OP
 is down 97%.

With ETH L1 scaling, I think most of the L2s will continue to bleed like this."

Today, I started thinking about yield from a slightly different angle.

Normally, when we see an APY in DeFi, the first question is:
Where does the yield come from?
And honestly, that's the right question.
