I was shocked to see the FDV rankings of public chains on defilama, there are actually 408 public chains listed.
To rank public chains, a lot of data is needed, mainly the DeFi FDV and the FDV from bridging.
In addition, there are the application protocols deployed on each chain, for example, Ethereum has 1,570 application protocols, Binance Chain has 993, and Base has 680.
Also, the number of active wallet addresses; Ethereum has 531,000 active wallet addresses, Binance Chain has 1.83 million, and Base Chain has 1.05 million.
Additionally, there are the gas fees generated by this public chain within the last 24 hours, which shows the differences: the gas fee for Ethereum in the past 24 hours was $1.35 million, Binance Chain was 369,297 USD, and Base Chain was 242,269 USD.
Recently, the highly popular social Layer 2 on Base, #zora , has ranked 286.
The top 20 public chains are quite impressive.
I really want to know what factors the current DApp project teams consider when choosing a public chain to deploy their products? Is it easy to obtain grants from public chains now? What is the typical amount and level?
Those ancient public chains are almost forgotten by history, and I have no idea what well-known DApps on these chains have been mentioned or used recently, but their coin prices remain strong, for example, Cardano's $ADA , Polkadot's $DOT , it’s time for a comeback.
Can someone share the logic? There seems to be little liquidity on-chain, so why are these public chain coin prices still so strong?
