Looking at annual revenue performance across major blockchain networks reveals interesting market dynamics. The leading chains—Tron, Ethereum, Solana, Base, and BNB Chain—continue to dominate the revenue landscape, driven by high transaction volumes and active ecosystems. Layer 2 solutions like Arbitrum and Optimism are also capturing significant share through lower fees and fast confirmation times. Mid-tier performers including Avalanche, Injective, and TON show growing developer activity, while emerging networks like Unichain and Sonic are scaling up their infrastructure. Notably, Internet Computer, Immutable, Linea, Bifrost, Filecoin, Polygon, and Aptos represent diverse blockchain categories—from computing platforms to NFT-focused chains to storage solutions—each carving out their own revenue niches. This fragmented yet growing revenue distribution across 20+ chains signals a maturing ecosystem where specialized use cases drive economic activity rather than winner-take-all dynamics.

The ecosystem is really becoming more fragmented, which is actually a good thing. Otherwise, Ethereum would still dominate everything...

TON's dark horse is really gaining momentum now; I hadn't paid much attention before.

After looking for a while, it's still just those few chains eating up the market. L2s have indeed taken a lot of business... But on the other hand, this kind of fragmented distribution is healthier, much better than Ethereum's previous dominance.

The SOL ecosystem is back up, and it seems that the competition in layer 2 has really heated up... Arbitrum and Optimism are still aggressively capturing Ethereum's market share.

Honestly, seeing so many chains sharing a piece of the pie, it feels like the ecosystem is gradually becoming a hundred flowers blooming, no longer as ridiculous as before when Ethereum was the sole dominant player.
