About
What it answers, and for whom.
A layer 1 is a blockchain that settles its own transactions and secures itself with its own validators or miners, rather than relying on another chain. This table lists the major layer 1 chains with figures read from each chain: how much it is used, what users pay, how fast blocks come, how many validators secure it, how much of its token is staked and when its mainnet began.
Sort it by the measure you care about, or filter by consensus or execution environment to compare chains of one kind. Activity and fees are 30-day averages counted with the same rules as the cross-chain boards, and every figure links to the reads and blocks behind it.
Method
How it will be measured.
Every figure will be read at a block, kept with its source and its exact read, and open a receipt anyone can re-check.
How receipts work →- Activity columns are 30-day daily averages of transactions and active addresses, counted with the same per-chain rules as the daily transactions and active addresses boards.
- Fees are the median fee per transaction and the 30-day fee total from each chain's own fee field, valued at day-end prices.
- Block time is the median interval between block timestamps over the window; the mainnet date is the timestamp of the chain's first mainnet block.
- Validators and staked share come from each chain's staking state: the active validator set, and the staked amount divided by total supply at the same block.
- USD values use on-chain oracle prices where they exist and off-chain reference prices otherwise, named in the row's receipt.
The data it needs
Chain data, with some off-chain sources
- chain_activity_dailyTo buildChain activity by dayTransactions, active sending addresses, new addresses, contracts created and gas used on each chain per day, counted from blocks and transactions.
- chain_fees_dailyTo buildFees and gas by chainFees paid per chain per day in the native token: base fee and priority fee percentiles, total fees, and the share burned where the chain burns fees.
- staking_networks_dailyTo buildProof-of-stake networksStaked supply, staking ratio, validators and nominal rewards per proof-of-stake network per day.
- native_prices_dailyTo buildOracle prices by dayReference prices of major assets read from on-chain oracle feeds (Chainlink latestRoundData) at each day's last block, with each round's update time.
- Each chain's daily transactions and active addresses over 30 days, from the cross-chain activity tables
- Each chain's fee field per transaction, for the median fee and the 30-day total
- Block timestamps over the window, for the median block time; the genesis or launch block, for the mainnet date
- Each chain's staking state: the validator set and the staked amount, with total supply at the same block
- Chainlink price feeds where they exist; off-chain reference prices otherwise
Questions
Questions people ask.
What is a layer 1 blockchain?
A base blockchain that orders, executes and secures its own transactions, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum or Solana. Layer 2 networks process transactions themselves but rely on a layer 1 for settlement and security.
Which layer 1 has the most activity?
It depends on the measure, and the leaders change over time: transaction counts favour chains with cheap fees and many bots, while fees and active addresses tell a different story. Sort the table by each column to see the leaders on that measure.
Why do staked shares differ so much between chains?
Chains reward staking differently, and some lock staked tokens for longer. A high staked share can mean more value securing the chain and less of the token in circulation. Bitcoin and other proof-of-work chains have no staked share.
Is BNB Chain a layer 1?
Yes. BNB Smart Chain has its own validator set and settles its own transactions. Its layer 2, opBNB, is not in this table.
Which chains are included?
Major layer 1 chains whose blocks and staking data can be read, from Bitcoin and Ethereum to newer chains such as Monad. Chains are added as their data is built, and each row states when its data starts.
- Layer 1
- A blockchain that settles and secures its own transactions without depending on another chain.
- Staked share
- The part of a token's total supply that is staked with validators at a given block.
- Execution environment
- The virtual machine a chain runs contracts in, such as the EVM, the SVM or Move.
