Etherlink, the Tezos EVM, concluded 2025 with a significant 5566% increase in Total Value Locked (TVL), rising from $1.46 million to $82.73 million. This growth was driven by the successful implementation of the Farfadet upgrade, which enhanced the chain's capacity to over 1,000 transactions per second at reduced costs. The upgrade facilitated major DeFi integrations, attracting platforms like Oku, Morpho, and Superlend. Additionally, Etherlink's ecosystem expanded with gaming projects such as REAPER ACTUAL, contributing to its status as a leading EVM infrastructure. The platform now supports 438,500 unique gaming users, underscoring its robust growth and adoption in the blockchain space.
