Details

• The aggregate L2 metric (TxBlobL2Cnt) includes all tagged L2 sequencers. This list includes additional L2s that do not have dedicated metrics.

API Endpoints

Exhange Deposits metrics can be accessed using these endpoints:

• timeseries/asset-metrics

and by passing in the metric ID's TxBlob* in the metrics parameter.
