Which chain do you think has the most potential right now?

I agree with the post above, it's all about the hype because if we're being realistic here... do we really need all of these chains?

The way I see it (and as I have already said in a previous post) is a couple years from now, half of the list is probably not going to be around. The chains won't necessarily shutdown, but simply won't have remotely close the TVL they currently have. We have seen it with other chains in the past, Scroll, Blast, Manta, etc. so it's not going to be shocking to see it happening again.

The same thought, many of them will no longer be around. Just as many altcoins a decade ago that became popular, none of the many popular ones at that time is nowhere to be found.

So, you're just saying the truth about them and no matter which one is the most useful or has got the potential. We'll see that many of them eliminated already maybe by the next bull run cycle.

At first sight, everything looks normal. Those networks have a respected number of users considering the daily volume of transaction. However, when we look deeper, many of them have that daily volume because they support a form of stablecoin. Many of them still exist just because it is used to transact one of the USD based tokens. Once those called stablecoins move to other chains or just collapse, those chains will automatically be out of use.

There are so many chains fighting for users and liquidity right now. Some are pretty new, like Unichain, Monad, HyperEVM, Arc and Robinhood Chain, while Polygon, Avalanche and BNB Chain have been around for a while.

Which one do you actually use the most? And what makes you pick a chain: low fees, speed, liquidity, security, or just the ecosystem and apps on it?

Also curious which of the newer ones you think will still matter a year from now.

Vote in the poll and share your thoughts below.

I'd go with Robinhood Chain. It's fast, dirt-cheap, and it's quickly becoming a major hub for "memes". It might eat "Solana's cake" eventually. BNB Chain is a bigger fish, but it relies on its own blockchain network for security. Robinhood's offering is an ETH L2 network, meaning it's completely secured by the main ETH blockchain. While the chain uses ETH as a native token, it might come up with its own token in the future. I mean, this is what exchanges usually do when they have their own Blockchain. Just to pay revenue from trading fees to holders, etc. All to attract investors into their project. An airdrop might follow suit if Robinhood decides to take this path.

Personally, I pick chains with speed, low fees, and liquidity. They're great for quick transfers and day trading. For the largest ecosystem and apps, ETH is the clear winner. In terms of chains with smart contract features, of course. The competition is getting fierce. I wonder why chains will last and which ones will fade away into oblivion?

That is true, due to the support they have for USDT, USDC and other known stable coins, they are keeping up with the volume.

They provide support and the fees are not that much to be concerned of. And so, users are there and choosing either of them for as long as the stablecoin is there.

If two or three networks merge in theory, I think that it's going to eventually kill the others when they provide better and cheaper fees and quicker transfers.

Robinhood must be the underrated one from that list. Just in a short time after the launch, it's successfully attracting more than a billion TVL on its chain. The thing that i really like it is about i can trade tokenized stock or even providing LP for it there. So it gives me the easiest way to utilize my tokenized stock to earn profit.



As per the picture above, Robinhood is able entering top 10 chains based on TVL in a short time. It also has a real product that is actively using by thousands of people. However, it's still lacking of proper apps who focused on the defi, but it will be growing up higher soon.

As for the tx, it's fast and cheap, but it's depending on the traffic on the network same as other L2s.

It's all the reason i vote for Robinhood. RWA blockchain will take the trend in the future.

Entering the top 10 is cute. I think it's more important that they stay there and even go for higher rankings in the long run. I've only use the chain a few times so I'm not a power use but from my little time there, it seems like robinhood resolves around memes and that would be bad for them when the casino isn't producing a new winners to create a sustained survivorship bias.

Like you said, without proper applications that people use, I doubt the TVL you see today will remain when memes on the chain starts underpeforming.
