This makes Anatoliy Yakovenko’s network the leader among blockchains in terms of the number of transactions. For comparison, the Aptos blockchain was in second place with 578 million transactions.

Other blockchains, such as TRON, Near Protocol, and Sei, also demonstrated high activity. TRON registered 225 million transactions, Near Protocol 198 million, and Sei 127 million. The Base, BNB, and Sui blockchains also showed moderate transaction volumes, ranging from 121 million to 103 million transactions.
