Ethereum layer 2 chains Blast and Abstract are shutting down due to financial losses. Blast announced on October 2 that its operating costs exceeded revenue and urged users to withdraw funds by October 26. Abstract plans to close by December 15 after reporting significant funding losses. These closures highlight the challenge for smaller chains to sustain operations despite cheaper transaction costs from Ethereum's EIP-4844, as fixed expenses like security and development remain high.
