The Chains page provides data on on-chain activity and capital accumulation across major Web3 public chains (Layer 1 & Layer 2). The core data on this page is powered by open-source queries from Dune Analytics.

​
Core On-Chain Metrics

At the top of the page, you can see aggregated data for all tracked public chains:
  • Total TVL (Total Value Locked): The total capital size across all tracked public chains.
  • 24h Transactions: The sum of all transactions processed across all public chains in the last 24 hours.
  • Active Wallets: The total number of unique wallet addresses participating in interactions across the network.
  • Avg TVL Change: The weighted average percentage of 24h capital inflow/outflow based on individual chain TVL.

​
Public Chain Rankings

The main body of the page is a list of public chains ranked by TVL (Total Value Locked) in descending order. This leaderboard clearly shows where capital is accumulating. For each chain, we display the following key data:

​
1. TVL and 24h Change

TVL is the most critical metric for measuring the ecosystem prosperity of a public chain. The 24-hour TVL change rate (green for inflow, red for outflow) helps you quickly capture recent “hot chains.” For example, a sudden surge in TVL for a specific Layer 2 often indicates high-yield DeFi protocols or trending meme coins on that chain.

​
2. 24h Transactions

Reflects the actual usage frequency of the chain. Some chains may have low TVL but extremely high transaction counts (e.g., Solana, Base), which typically indicates active high-frequency trading (meme speculation, GameFi, etc.).

​
3. Active Wallets

Reflects the actual user base of the chain. Combined with transaction counts, you can determine whether a chain is dominated by a few “whales” or has broad retail participation.

Data Source Note

All on-chain fund flows and activity data on this page are retrieved via the Dune Analytics API. Dune relies on its powerful community-driven open-source queries to provide deeper and more accurate cross-chain comparison data than traditional block explorers.
