In September, the frenzy that drove the NFT sector subsided, but a wave of new energy emerged as the Layer 2 sector heated up following the successful launch of Ethereum (ETH) scaling solutions such as Arbitrum and Optimism.
Another project that has benefited from the sector’s transition to Layer 1 and Layer 2 alternatives is the OMG Network (OMG), a non-guarded Layer 2 protocol that uses an optimistic scaling solution to improve Ethereum’s scalability.
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that after hitting a low of $8.42 on July 20, OMG price has surged 380% to reach a daily high of $13.52 on Oct. 24 hours a day.
Before the market-wide slump that began in early May, OMG performed well largely thanks to the Coinbase listing. A major development for the protocol occurred at the beginning of June when the project was renamed from OmiseGO to the OMG Foundation as part of its focus towards Layer 2 solutions.
