Many big L1 and L2 chains are launching. The most important will be those which provides so much scalability, fast transaction and low fee. Optimism and Arbitrum are L2 Blockchain which already attract many users and volume on both these chain are so impressive. Zkevm also working on Layer 2 and recently airdropped one free Nft to all users who migrated Eth to Polygon Zkevm network.
Starknet will be best one because i read that starknet chain will use Its own token for gas fee instead of Eth which will increase the demand of the this token. I am not happy with their speed because it tooks so much time and fee is also very high.
Layer 1 Blockchain shardeum is looking good and we can expect some good volume here also. at this time its testnet dapps are active and all things looking good. Sei network is also in testnet stage but its mainnet is looking very close to me. already big fund raised by Bitget.
Not really. I mean sure if you are fast and cheap then you would be liked, but there are already cheap and fast ones people can use even today. Look at tron, look at sol, those are cheap, nearly free for some cases, and they are very fast, under 1 minute transactions. Are they at the top? Not really, sure they are ranked very well but not at the top, so that means things that you listed could provide cheap and fast transactions and it could still not be as fast.
There are even coins outside of top 100 which can be used for cheap and fast transactions, so that doesn't matter to ranking. People loving and investing a lot with hopes of making more is the only thing that matters, and so far those coins have not gone up that much like that.
