IOST vs Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain: L1 Competition and Unique Advantages in 2025! ⚔️📊
In June 2025, IOST continues to compete with other leading Layer 1 blockchains such as Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain, offering its unique advantages.
Scalability and TPS: IOST with 3000 TPS (thanks to sharding) offers significantly higher throughput than the current capabilities of Ethereum (without full sharding implementation) and competes with Solana and BNB Chain in speed.
Unique PoB Consensus: Unlike PoS (Ethereum, BNB Chain) or PoH (Solana), IOST's Proof-of-Believability provides efficient and secure scaling, incentivizing honest behavior based on contribution.
Focus on RWA and Regulatory Compliance: Recent partnerships and investments highlight IOST's strong focus on regulated real-world assets, setting it apart from many other L1 networks.
Low Fees: IOST offers some of the lowest transaction fees, making it attractive for a wide range of dApps and users.
Modular Architecture: IOST 3.0 with its modular approach offers flexibility for specialized enterprise solutions, which may be lacking in others.
While Ethereum has the largest ecosystem and Solana and BNB Chain have strengths in DeFi and GameFi, IOST stands out with its commitment to RWA, scalability, and unique consensus technology.
