Difference between revisions of "L1 comparison"

Revision as of 09:15, 14 December 2022

To get a view of the top performers in the blockchain industry, it's useful to compare across common metrics. Here we build a table that does such a comparison. All data correct as of December 2022.

Metrics explanations and references are given below.

Metrics

TPS measures the transactions processed per second - note that the interval over which these are measured does vary across chains.
Finality measures the time taken for a block to be finalised
Tx Cost measures the cost of a transaction
Energy Consumption measures the energy consumption
On-Chain Storage measures the cost of storing data on-chain
Nodes/Validators measures the number of nodes
Nakamoto Coefficient is the count of malicious nodes needed to collude to prevent a blockchain from functioning properly
Market Cap is the price of the coin times the number of coins
Price denotes the dollar price of the coin
Circulating Supply is the count of coins in circulation
Volume is the amount transferred in a given period
Users counts the users on the network
Repos, DAOs, Dapps, Tokens showcases the leading applications supported by the network
Safety Threshold is the assumption underlying the safety property of a blockchain
Burnt Fees counts the amount of tokens burnt by fees
