SS RANK LEADERBOARD

SYSTEM ACTIVE
DATA: JAN 2026
CHAINS: 24

Ranking blockchains by evolutionary replication fitness & social scalability (SS) — not hype, not market cap, but the actual efficiency of propagating and storing chain state. High TPS means nothing if only a datacenter can run a node.

Long-term Hosting Costs

The more expensive it is to run a full-node, the harder it is to sovereignly verify the blockchain.

Projected chain size after 10 years at maximum block capacity. Cost to verify the chain locally without other parties.

Rank Name Chain Size (10YR) Tx Number (10YR) TX Size

PoW Propagation Efficiency

Larger the block size, longer the timeout. Longer the timeout, higher potential for delay attacks.

Smaller blocks propagate faster across the network. Large blocks increase delay attack surface and bandwidth burden. PoS chains excluded — block size less meaningful without PoW propagation race.

Rank Name Block Size Limit Type Orphan Rate

ATTACK COSTS

51% Attack Cost (per day & per 10yr)

Cost to 51% attack the network. Higher = more secure. PoS attack costs are one-time acquisitions; attackers with existing stake pay $0/day.

Rank Name Cost (10YR) Cost (per day)

WTPS Score

WTPS = TPS / (Max Block Size × Block Time × 10yr Chain Size)

Throughput weighted by storage burden. High TPS with large blocks/chains scores lower. Rewards efficient designs that maximize transactions without bloating storage.

Rank Name WTPS Score Raw TPS Block Time

Fungible Privacy

Strength of Cryptographic Privacy

Ranking native privacy built-in to the base layer of a coin, not 3rd party services.

Rank Name Technology Privacy Type Vulnerability
