L1 comparison
From Internet Computer Wiki
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
