This chart is nice, but you need to include the difficulty of the algorithm (difficulty to attack), the size of the blockchain (hard for anyone except rich people to participate if you need a server farm just to verify a transaction), developer activity, and each coin should have a collapsable subset of “layer-2” options (eg. Lightning and liquid for Bitcoin), and their statistics as well.
Most importantly, A “transaction” on a blockchain is not a “transaction” in the colloquial sense.
- xur17 5y agoI was going to comment on this as well - different coins made different decisions on how to scale their blockchains. Some have an expensive base chain with the intent of moving most transactions to layer 2. Some have a cheap layer 1 with lots of transactions. Some have a mix of the 2. There are different tradeoffs for each approach, but I'd love to see some of these scaling attempts included rather than just assuming that layer 1 transactions are the only ones that matter.
