Entering 2025, the competitive landscape of the blockchain ecosystem is quietly changing. According to community popularity data, Solana ranks first due to its high performance and active developer ecosystem, with Base following closely behind, attracting a large number of users with its Layer 2 advantages.

Ethereum, as an established smart contract platform, still maintains its third position. Sui and BNB Chain are ranked fourth and fifth respectively; although their rankings are lower, both chains are actively developing their ecosystems, with new projects and applications pouring in at a rapid pace.

Interestingly, each ecosystem has its own focus—some emphasize performance breakthroughs, some highlight ecosystem richness, and others prioritize developer friendliness. This multi-chain parallel pattern reflects the market's genuine demand for diverse blockchain solutions. In 2025, the competition and collaboration among these five major ecosystems will continue to shape the future direction of the entire industry.

SOL-3,09%

ETH-3,67%

SUI-4,37%

BNB-1,98%

Sol really dominates this wave, performance is king --- How many jobs did base take from ETH? Layer 2 is truly impressive --- ETH can still hold on to third place, even old-timers have their style --- Sui and BNB ranked here? The ranking depends on how much money was invested, haha --- The multi-chain era is here, everyone can share a piece of the pie. Anyway, I just follow the hype --- There are so many developers on Sol, it's not just talk. The ecosystem is vibrant --- I feel like Layer 2 is the future. With ETH mainnet fees so high, who would still use it? --- These rankings will change again in a couple of months, don’t take it too seriously --- Everyone is competing in performance and ecosystem, but in the end, we small investors benefit the most

Sol ecosystem is hot, but I still believe in SUI's long-term potential. --- Although Base is riding on OP's coattails, it currently has strong fundraising capabilities. --- Is ETH still in third place? I thought it had been surpassed long ago... --- Ranking doesn't necessarily mean profit; high popularity doesn't equate to making money. --- Multi-chain competition is good; competition leads to good projects, while monopolies are toxic. --- SUI and BNB are ranked low but are very active; are they holding back big moves? --- No matter how high Solana's TPS is, it can't withstand frequent chain outages, haha. --- It seems every chain is competing fiercely; who will survive until the end is really hard to say.
