Etherlink is an EVM-compatible Layer 2 network built as a Smart Rollup, a rollup that is part of the Tezos protocol itself. Transactions are ordered into blocks on the Etherlink side and settle on Tezos, while the EVM interface is meant to work as a drop-in replacement for Ethereum-compatible chains. That means Solidity contracts and familiar wallets can be used here. The team also announced Instant Confirmations in January 2026, aiming for transaction receipts in under 50 milliseconds.
The network is tied to tez, the Tezos token, which users move from Tezos to Etherlink through a bridging process and use to pay transaction fees. We do not list a separate native Etherlink token. Fees are generally lower than on Ethereum mainnet, but they can change, so check the current cost in your wallet before confirming anything.
The ecosystem is small. DeFi TVL is about $17.4 million at the time of writing. Gearbox offers leveraged credit accounts, and Hanji Protocol runs an on-chain order-book exchange. Superlend is an Aave V3 fork lending market, and UltraYield Curator provides managed yield vaults. Uranium.io issues a token backed by physical uranium, 3route routes swaps, and Lyzi handles crypto payments. LayerZero V2 and Morpho Blue are also listed, but they operate across many chains, so their large TVL figures mostly reflect activity elsewhere.

Guides for Etherlink and other chains
Blockchain
Etherlink DeFi and dApps: A Beginner's Guide for 2026Etherlink is an EVM-compatible layer 2 that settles to Tezos, so many Ethereum wallets and DeFi tools can be pointed at it. This guide covers setup, the main kinds of applications, and the checks to run before you put funds at risk.
Blockchain
Blockchain Examples and How They WorkLearn how blockchains record and verify transactions, how consensus keeps a shared ledger in sync, and how Bitcoin, Ethereum and other networks put the technology to work. See practical examples, key trade-offs and ways to assess whether a blockchain is a good fit.
Blockchain
Blockchain for Data: Uses, Limits and How It WorksBlockchains can create shared records that are difficult to alter, but they are not a general-purpose replacement for databases or file storage. Learn what belongs on-chain, how blockchains connect to outside data, and when the trade-offs make sense.
Blockchain
Casper Network and CSPR: A Practical Guide for 2026Casper Network is a proof-of-stake blockchain, and CSPR is its native token. This guide explains the network’s purpose, how CSPR is used, and what to check before staking or transacting.
Blockchain
Cosmos Network Guide: Chains, IBC and ATOM in 2026Cosmos is an ecosystem of independent blockchains, not one chain that processes every app and token. Learn how the Cosmos Hub, Cosmos SDK and IBC fit together, what ATOM does, and how to assess transfers, staking and risks in 2026.
Blockchain
How the Bitcoin Lightning Network WorksThe Bitcoin Lightning Network moves payments through channels that sit on top of Bitcoin, so most transfers do not need their own blockchain transaction. Learn how channels, routing, fees and liquidity work, and what to consider before using Lightning.
Frequently asked questions
What is Etherlink?
Etherlink is a Layer 2 network built as a Smart Rollup on Tezos and compatible with Ethereum tooling. It lets people use Ethereum-style smart contracts and wallets while settling on Tezos. Our list covers 19 dApps that run on it.
Is Etherlink EVM compatible?
Yes. Its EVM interface is designed as a drop-in replacement for Ethereum-compatible chains, so existing Solidity contracts and common wallets and developer tools should work with little change. Always check each dApp's own documentation for network details.
What do you need to pay fees on Etherlink?
Etherlink works with tez, the Tezos token, which is moved over from Tezos to the rollup through a bridging process. Fees are paid in that bridged tez rather than in a separate Etherlink-only coin. Check the official documentation for current fee details before transacting.
Which dApps are on Etherlink?
Gearbox, Hanji Protocol, Superlend, UltraYield Curator, Uranium.io, Symmetric, 3route, Lyzi and Liquidity House are among those listed here. They cover lending, order-book trading, swap routing, real-world assets, payments and gaming liquidity. Large multichain names such as LayerZero V2 and Morpho Blue also appear in our data, but their TVL mostly sits on other chains.
How big is the Etherlink ecosystem?
At the time of writing, DeFi TVL on Etherlink is about $17.4 million. That is small next to the big Ethereum networks, so liquidity can be thin in some markets. Individual protocols range from a few thousand dollars to roughly $24 million.
Are there gambling apps on Etherlink?
Liquidity House provides bankroll liquidity to licensed online gaming operators and is the gambling-related project listed here. You must be 18 or older, or 21 or older where local law requires it, and you should confirm that online gambling is legal where you live. Only use services that are permitted in your jurisdiction.
What is the largest dApp on Etherlink by TVL?
