Part 4/11:
Notable slow chains include ADA (0.6 TPS), ICP (0.1 TPS), Stacks (0.4 TPS).
Even chains claiming high TPS (e.g., 3,000 TPS) are often not performing well in real-world activity.
Daily Active Users (DAUs)
Most chains register low DAUs, often just a few thousand:
Average DAUs among the set: ~4,177.
Cardano stands out with about 33,000 users.
Others like ICP (4,000) and Stacks (12,000) are well below the use threshold needed for meaningful adoption.
Transaction Fees and Revenue
Chains that can't generate consistent revenue are likely to struggle:
Average daily fees are disappointingly low (~$11,705 across platforms).
Many chains earn only a few thousand dollars daily, insufficient to sustain long-term growth or innovation.
