Flow-3.Flow vs L1s

    -- Q3. Create a dashboard comparing the following metrics between Flow, Solana, Ethereum, and Algorand. -- Visualize these metrics over time since May 9th. -- Number of transactions -- -Transaction success rates -- -Number of unique wallets to make a transaction -- -Number of wallets that used the chain everyday since May 9th -- -Transaction fees -- How does Flow compare to these other chains and how do you think it will trend over time?

    Methodology

    • Look at various transaction tables for each blockchain and find the required metrics.
    • Note: All blockchains except algorand have success metrics

    Number of Transactions

    • Solana by far has the most number of transactions amongst all the chains.
    • Example on May 21, Solana had 36M transactions vs flow saw about 600k and Algo and Ethereum saw only about 1M each.

    Number of Daily Unique Wallets

    • Solana is matching up to ethereum on daily unique wallets, which is very surprising, given Solana is so new.
    • Solana and Ethereum on daily basis both have around 375K wallets, however recently Solana has crossed Ethereum with 430K wallets.

    Transaction Fee

    • Ethereum dominates in the Transaction Fee, therefore we have to look at the chart in Log scale to compare values.

    • Ethereum on a daily basis does around 4-5M $USD generated fee, compared to Algo and Solana the fees are very miniscule with 65K for Solana and only 600$ for Algo.

    Note:

    • Since not all tokens have daily prices, therefore to standardize we take the current price of each token and multiply the fee.
    • Flow currently has no Tx Fee and Fee is 0

    Transaction success rate

    • Ethereum has the best success rate amongst all the L1s.
    • It has consistently had a success rate > 90%
    • Solana has the highest transaction failure rate with ~ 40% transactions failing daily.

    How does Flow compare to these other chains and how do you think it will trend over time?

    • There is not enough data to conclusively say how flow will perform over time.
    • However, number of transactions and the number of wallets seem to suggest Flow will do well over time, if they can resolve the transaction failure rate.
