Platform Consensus Key Features Best For

Ethereum Proof of Stake Smart contracts, dApps, DeFi General-purpose dApps, DeFi, NFTs

BNB Chain Proof of Staked Authority Fast, low fees, EVM-compatible Token launches, DeFi, BSC-based projects

Polygon Proof of Stake Ethereum-compatible, low gas Scalable dApps, bridges to Ethereum

Solana Proof of History + PoS Very high throughput, low latency High-speed dApps, games, finance apps

Avalanche Avalanche consensus Subnets, high scalability Enterprise chains, high-throughput apps

Arbitrum Optimistic Rollup (L2) Scalable Ethereum layer 2 Scalable Ethereum dApps

Optimism Optimistic Rollup (L2) L2 with fast transactions, low fees L2 DeFi and Ethereum apps

Base Optimistic Rollup (L2) Backed by Coinbase, EVM-compatible Consumer-facing apps, L2 onboarding

Fantom Lachesis (aBFT) Fast, low-cost, EVM-compatible DeFi, tools needing speed + cost efficiency

Near Nightshade (sharding) Developer-friendly, scalable Web3 dApps with dynamic scaling

Cardano Ouroboros PoS Research-driven, secure Enterprise, identity, governance

Tezos Liquid PoS Formal verification Secure smart contracts

Algorand Pure PoS Fast finality, low fees Tokenization, payments

Cosmos Tendermint BFT Modular, interoperable Custom chains, Cosmos SDK-based apps

Polkadot Nominated PoS Shared security via parachains Interoperable, scalable dApps

Hedera Hashgraph (aBFT) High throughput, enterprise use Enterprise-grade Web3


๐Ÿ›  EVM-Compatible Chains (Easier Token Development)

If you're launching tokens or dApps, these are ideal:


Ethereum


BNB Chain


Polygon


Avalanche (C-Chain)


Fantom


Arbitrum / Optimism / Base


You can use Solidity, Remix, Hardhat, and MetaMask on these chains.
