About Ethereum coverage on CoinArticle
Does this section cover Layer 2 networks?
Yes. Major Layer 2 rollup news (Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, zkSync, Starknet, Polygon zkEVM and others) appears in both the Ethereum and dedicated Layer 2 sections, since L2 activity directly affects mainnet fees, sequencer revenue, and ETH demand.
How often is this section updated?
Our pipeline runs every hour, so newly clustered stories typically appear within an hour of being published by the source outlets. We deduplicate, merge related coverage, and tag every article with categories, sentiment, and impact scores.
