Top Value Locked(TVL): The Blockchains Dominating TVL and Beyond

• TRON (TRX): Revolutionizes content monetization by directly connecting creators to consumers, eliminating high intermediary fees.
• Arbitrum (ARB): Boosts Ethereum scalability with optimistic rollups, achieving fast, low-cost transactions and governance via ARB token.
• Sui & Mantle: Sui accelerates Web3 with object-oriented design; Mantle scales Ethereum modularly for efficient upgrades and innovation.

The blockchain landscape is rapidly evolving, with top platforms like TRON, Arbitrum, and Sui leading the charge in scalability, creator monetization, and innovation. These networks, ranked by Total Value Locked (TVL), are driving the future of decentralized finance, content sharing, and Web3 adoption.

TRON(TRX) Expands Content Creator Monetization Options

Current Price:$0.2939

Market cap: $25.33B

TRON has been a popular entertainment content-sharing platform aiming to disrupt the current middlemen-controlled content distribution. The technology of TRON helps users pay content producers directly without the intermediation of centralized platforms and their high commissions. As with Bitcoin and the compatibility of decentralized applications (dApp), TRON has a transaction model allowing creators to both own the content and earn more without third-party costs. This distributed structure offers TRON a realistic solution to creating, distributing, and directly selling digital material to the public.

Arbitrum(ARB): Scaling Speed and Cost Efficiency

Current price:$0.9973

Market cap:$4.08B

Another layer-two scaling solution, Arbitrum is designed to enhance Ethereum’s performance due to its optimistic rollups. This design makes it possible to achieve high-throughput and have lower transaction fees by shifting most of the computation and storage needs off the main chain. Its native governance token, ARB, entitles holders to the right to participate in protocol upgrades and fund allocation through the Arbitrum DAO. The year 2023 is ambitious for Arbitrum, with a layer-three solution launch called Orbit and further expanding its validator network. The airdrop of the ARB token dated March 16, 2023, rewarded early users and DAO participants with 12.75% of the total supply.

Sui: Scalable Blockchain Platform for Web3 Development

Current price:$4.76

Market cap:$13.98B

Sui offers a distinct layer-1 blockchain platform designed to support global Web3 application development. Its object-oriented architecture allows for low-latency transactions and composable assets. This model empowers developers to create customized objects compatible across the network, enhancing interaction and integration within the platform. Sui’s innovative zkLogin feature allows users to authenticate with familiar web accounts, making it easier to access blockchain benefits. By enabling parallel transaction processing, Sui supports high-throughput, cost-effective transactions—qualities necessary for widespread blockchain adoption.

Base(BASE) Launch and Its Impact

Current price: $0.00001116

Market cap:$10.36M

SwapBased is implementing an automated liquidity protocol on the Base blockchain. This protocol, consisting of non-upgradeable smart contracts, aims to enhance liquidity within the ecosystem. By focusing on stability and efficiency, Base positions itself as a vital player in the evolving layer-two landscape.
