1. Ethereum
Advantages:
Broad developer community: Ethereum has the largest developer community, rich development tools and resources.
Mature ecosystem: A large number of DeFi and NFT projects, as well as various middleware and infrastructure.
Security: Ethereum has been running for many years, and its security and stability have been verified.
Disadvantages:
High transaction fees: Transaction fees on the Ethereum network are high, especially when the network is congested.
Scalability issues: Although Ethereum 2.0 and Layer 2 solutions (such as Arbitrum and Optimism) are working hard to improve scalability, there are still certain limitations.
2. Polygon (formerly Matic)
Advantages:
Low transaction fees: Compared with Ethereum, Polygon's transaction fees are extremely low.
High throughput: Able to handle a large number of transactions, it is very suitable for games that require frequent transactions.
Compatible with Ethereum: Polygon is Ethereum's Layer 2 expansion solution and can leverage Ethereum's ecosystem.
Disadvantages:
Degree of centralization: Compared with Ethereum, Polygon is less decentralized.
3. Solana
Advantages:
High performance: Solana can handle thousands of transactions per second (TPS) with low latency, making it ideal for games that require high-frequency transactions.
Low transaction fees: Transaction fees are extremely low, making it suitable for scenarios with a large number of small transactions.
Disadvantages:
Emerging ecosystem: Although growing rapidly, the ecosystem and developer tools are not as mature as Ethereum.
Decentralization controversy: Some community members have questioned its degree of decentralization.
4. Binance Smart Chain (BSC)
Advantages:
Low transaction fees: BSC's transaction fees are much lower than Ethereum's.
High throughput: It can handle a large number of transactions.
Compatibility: Compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), developers can easily port DApps on Ethereum.
Disadvantages:
Degree of centralization: BSC has a small number of nodes, is controlled by Binance, and has a low degree of decentralization.
5. Sui Network and Aptos
Advantages:
High performance and low latency: Both chains focus on high performance and low latency, making them particularly suitable for gaming applications that require high-frequency transactions.
Innovative consensus mechanism: As mentioned above, Sui Network and Aptos use innovative consensus mechanisms to improve the network's scalability and transaction processing capabilities.
Move programming language: Move language has advantages in security and concurrent processing#ETH
