Introducing posts and articles I found interesting.
Most used chain based on what?
Questioning the ambiguity of metrics (TVL, transaction volume, fees, user count) used when discussing “the most widely used chain.”
Solana will surpass Ethereum in growth starting in 2023, with TVL increasing approximately tenfold and also outpacing Ethereum in transaction volume, fees, and user count.
Solana dominates particularly in transaction volume, value transferred, DEX trading volume, and fee share.
Ethereum still has a strong developer network, but lags in on-chain metrics.
Rather than emotional arguments like “praise for Ethereum vs. dismissal of Solana,” we advocate for a rational evaluation based on data.
