2025’s Best Blockchain Networks

As 2024 was a great year for blockchain ecosystem growth, we reach 2025 with signs of good-performing mainnet networks and some promising insights into emerging new networks.

✨ Best Networks for 2025:

1. Ethereum $ETH - Ethereum maintained its position as the biggest and most influential blockchain ecosystem in 2024. During 2025, it will roll out several network enhancements, including the Pectra Upgrade.

2. Polygon $POL - After a successful transition from MATIC to POL, this year it will launch the "Polygon Aggregation Layer".

3. Solana $SOL - Solana faced stable growth in 2024 and the new year will consolidate as a network to watch: new Solana Seeker mobile device, new validator performance optimizations, and more.

4. Sui $SUI - As one of the biggest growers of 2024, expect Sui to remain a significant player in the field. In 2025 it will launch its SuiPlay0X1 handheld gaming device, integrate Walrus, and expand its ecosystem even more.

5. Aptos $APT - With faster transaction processing, Aptos will now focus on and continue to develop the Move ecosystem for expected growth in 2025.

6. Celestia $TIA - Celestia will develop and implement Lazybridging, its new approach to cross-chain asset transfers.

7. Axelar $AXL - After launching its Interchain Amplifier in 2024, Axelar will deposit its efforts into expanding its interoperability solutions.

8. Sei $SEI - Emerged as one of the fastest-growing L1 ecosystems, due to its NFT ecosystem which had incredible growth and is expected to be the focus of its development efforts for 2025.

9. Hyperliquid $HYPE - The network's innovative approach to on-chain order book management and settlement demonstrated the potential for bringing traditional finance capabilities to DeFi. In 2025, we will watch Hyperliquid grow and evolve its on-chain order book and settlement systems.

10. Saga $SAGA - In 2025, Saga will launch its Liquidity Integration Layer (LiL), expand its gasless transactions, and develop the Uniswap Chainlet ecosystem.

🚀 Emerging New Networks:

1. Walrus $WAL - Developed by Mysten Labs to operate on top of the Sui blockchain, its mainnet will launch this year (Q2).

2. Monad - Its EVM parallelization and state management solutions achieved significant benchmarks on testnet phases, so it’s expected to be a relevant player in 2025.

3. IOTA 2.0 - Focus on IoT integration and industrial applications, combined with its enhanced smart contract capabilities, positions it uniquely in the blockchain ecosystem.

4. Berachain $BGT - Its approach to incentivizing liquidity provision has resonated strongly with the DeFi community, generating substantial anticipation for its upcoming mainnet launch.

5. Story Protocol $IP - Set itself apart by becoming a specialized blockchain infrastructure focused on intellectual property (IP) management and monetization. Mainnet launch in 2025.
