Three years ago, we wrote an article about Appchain, which was triggered by dYdX’s announcement that it would migrate its decentralized derivatives protocol from StarkEx L2 to the Cosmos chain, launching its v4 version as an independent blockchain based on the Cosmos SDK and Tendermint consensus.

In 2022, Appchain may be a relatively marginal technology option. As we head into 2025, with the launch of more and more Appchains, particularly Unichain and HyperEVM, the market’s competitive landscape is quietly shifting, and a trend centered around Appchain is forming. This article will explore our Appchain Thesis from this perspective.

The choice between Uniswap and Hyperliquid

The idea of Unichain emerged quite early. Nascent founder Dan Elitzer published “The Inevitability of UNIchain” in 2022, highlighting Uniswap’s scale, brand, liquidity structure, and demand for performance and value capture, pointing to the inevitability of its launch. Discussions about Unichain have been ongoing ever since.

Unichain officially launched in February, and over 100 applications and infrastructure providers have already built on it. Its current TVL is approximately $1 billion, ranking it among the top five L2 blockchains. Flashblocks with a 200ms block time and the Unichain Verification Network will be launched in the future.

As a perp, Hyperliquid has clearly had a need for Appchain and deep customization since day 1. In addition to its core products, Hyperliquid also launched HyperEVM, which, like HyperCore, is protected by the HyperBFT consensus mechanism.

In other words, in addition to its own powerful perp products, Hyperliquid is also exploring the possibility of building an ecosystem. Currently, the HyperEVM ecosystem has exceeded $2 billion in TVL, and ecological projects are beginning to emerge.

From the development of Unichain and HyperEVM, we can intuitively see two points:

1. The competitive landscape between L1 and L2 is beginning to diverge. The combined TVL of the Unichain and HyperEVM ecosystems exceeds $3 billion. These assets would have previously been deposited on general-purpose L1/L2 platforms like Ethereum and Arbitrum. The independent development of top applications has directly led to a loss of these platforms’ core value sources, including TVL, transaction volume, transaction fees, and MEV.

In the past, L1/L2 and applications like Uniswap and Hyperliquid enjoyed a symbiotic relationship: applications brought activity and users to the platforms, while the platforms provided security and infrastructure. Now, Unichain and HyperEVM have become platform layers themselves, entering direct competition with other L1/L2 platforms. They are not only competing for users and liquidity, but also for developers, inviting other projects to build on their chains. This has significantly changed the competitive landscape.

2. Unichain and HyperEVM’s expansion paths are fundamentally different from the current L1/L2 models. While the latter often build infrastructure first and then use incentives to attract developers, Unichain and HyperEVM’s model is “product first”—they first establish a market-proven core product with a large user base and brand recognition, and then build an ecosystem and network effects around this product.

This approach is more efficient and sustainable. Instead of “buying” the ecosystem through high developer incentives, they “attract” it through the network effects and technological advantages of their core products. Developers choose to build on HyperEVM because of the high-frequency trading users and real demand scenarios there, not because of vague incentive promises. This is clearly a more organic and sustainable growth model.

What has changed in the past three years?

First, the maturity of the technology stack and the development of third-party service providers. Three years ago, building an Appchain required teams to master the full blockchain stack. However, with the development and maturity of RaaS services like OP Stack, Arbitrum Orbit, and AltLayer, developers can now combine modules on demand, from execution and data availability to settlement and interoperability, much like using cloud services. This significantly reduces the engineering complexity and initial capital investment required to build an Appchain. The shift in operating models from self-built infrastructure to purchased services provides flexibility and feasibility for innovation at the application layer.

Secondly, brand and user mindset are key factors. We all know that attention is a scarce resource. Users are often loyal to an application’s brand, not its underlying technology: they use Uniswap for its user experience, not because it runs on Ethereum. With the widespread adoption of multi-chain wallets and further improvements in UX, users will become almost unaware of using different chains—their first points of contact are often wallets and applications. When applications build their own chains, users’ assets, identities, and usage habits are embedded within the application ecosystem, creating a powerful network effect.

Most importantly, applications are increasingly pursuing economic sovereignty. In the traditional L1/L2 architecture, we can see a clear “top-down” trend in value flow:

Application layer creates value (Uniswap trading, Aave lending) Users pay fees for using the application (application fees + gas fee), part of these fees go to the protocol, and part goes to LPs or other participants 100% of the gas fees go to L1 validators or L2 sorters MEV is divided among searchers, builders and validators in different proportions Finally, L1 tokens capture other values besides app fees through staking In this chain, the application layer that creates the most value actually captures the least.

According to Token Terminal, of Uniswap’s $6.4 billion in total value creation (including LP returns, gas fees, etc.), the protocol/developers, equity investors, and token holders have received less than 1%. Since its launch, Uniswap has generated $2.7 billion in gas revenue for Ethereum, which is roughly 20% of Ethereum’s settlement fees.

But what if the application has its own chain?

They can collect gas fees for themselves and use their own tokens as gas tokens; internalize MEV, minimize malicious MEV by controlling the sorter, and return benign MEV to users; or customize the fee model to achieve a more complex fee structure, etc.

In this light, seeking to internalize value becomes the ideal choice for applications. When an application’s bargaining power is sufficiently strong, it will naturally demand greater economic benefits. Therefore, high-quality applications have a weak dependency on the underlying chain, while the underlying chain has a strong dependency on high-quality applications.

सारांश

1. The chart above roughly compares the revenue of protocols (red) and applications (green) since 2020. We can clearly see that the value captured by applications has been gradually increasing, reaching approximately 80% this year. This may, to some extent, overturn Joel Monegro’s famous theory of “fat protocols, thin applications.”

We are witnessing a paradigm shift from the “fat protocol” theory to the “fat application” theory. Historically, the pricing logic for क्रिप्टो projects has primarily focused on “technical breakthroughs” and the development of underlying infrastructure. In the future, pricing will gradually shift to a more focused approach based on brand, traffic, and value capture. If applications can easily build their own chains based on modular services, L1’s traditional “rental collection” model will be challenged. Just as the rise of SaaS has reduced the bargaining power of traditional software giants, the maturity of modular infrastructure is also weakening L1’s monopoly.

In the future, the market capitalization of leading applications will undoubtedly exceed that of most L1s. L1 valuations will shift from prior focus on “capturing the ecosystem’s total value” to a focus on becoming a stable, secure, decentralized “infrastructure service provider.” This valuation will be closer to that of public goods generating stable cash flows, rather than “monopolistic” giants that capture the lion’s share of ecosystem value. This valuation bubble will be squeezed to a certain extent, and L1s will need to rethink their positioning.

2. Regarding Appchain, our view is that due to its brand, user awareness, and highly customized on-chain capabilities, Appchain can better capture long-term user value. In the era of “fat apps,” these applications not only capture the direct value they create, but also build blockchains around them, further externalizing this value and capturing the value of the infrastructure. They are both products and platforms, serving both end users and other developers. In addition to economic sovereignty, top applications will also seek other sovereign rights: the right to decide on protocol upgrades, transaction ordering and censorship resistance, and ownership of user data.

3. Of course, this article primarily discusses top applications like Uniswap and Hyperliquid, which have already launched Appchain. Appchain’s development is still in its early stages (Uniswap’s TVL on Ethereum still accounts for 71.4%). Protocols like Aave, which involve wrapped assets and collateral and rely heavily on composability on a single chain, are also less suitable for Appchain. Relatively speaking, per-platforms whose only external requirements are oracles are more suitable for Appchain. Furthermore, Appchain is not the best choice for mid-tier applications, requiring specific analysis. I will not elaborate on this here.
