1. Race to supremacy: Arbitrum or Optimism?
Txn per day for both the L2 optimistic rollups has been quite close. A discussion on Crypto Twitter is going around marking Arbitrum as the clear market leader.

Arbitrum, on the other hand, has managed to pull in an almost equal no. of users without any incentives.
