Layer3's L3 token flywheel is showing strong momentum with three key mechanisms driving demand:
- Users spend L3 to mint CUBEs (onchain credentials) - 23M L3 removed from circulation
- Builders lock L3 to access Layer3 infrastructure - 9M L3 currently locked
- Stakers earn rewards - 100M+ L3 locked out of 220M staked
Locked staking surged 300% month-over-month following model updates.
This creates a self-reinforcing cycle where all value flows through L3, combining user participation, builder adoption, and holder rewards into one cohesive system.
The L3 flywheel is in motion. It powers a working system with real usage, structural demand, and aligned incentives. Here鈥檚 how it works:
