Choosing the Right Chain for Your Smart Contracts
— Smartmuv
Web3 is evolving, and not every blockchain is suitable for every use case. The cost of gas fees and transaction speed directly affect your DApp success. Like how your DApp performs, especially in high-volume scenarios like Web3 games, DeFi, and NFT platforms.
At SmartMuv, we specialize in seamlessly migrating smart contracts (with their complete state!) from one Blockchain to another ensuring your project always runs where it makes the most sense.
⚡ Gas Cost & Speed: EVM Chains Compared
| Blockchain | Avg Gas Fee (USD) | TPS (Approx.) | Best Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ethereum | $2 – $20 | 15–30 | High-value DeFi, institutional apps |
| Polygon | <$0.01 | ~7,000 | Web3 games, retail DeFi, NFTs |
| BNB Chain | $0.05 – $0.20 | ~1,000 | Consumer apps, GameFi, payments |
| Arbitrum | $0.10 – $0.50 | ~40,000 | DeFi scaling, liquidity platforms |
| Optimism | $0.10 – $0.40 | ~20,000 | General-purpose DApps |
| XAI (Arbitrum-based gaming chain) | <$0.01 | ~20,000 | High-performance Web3 games, low-latency apps |
(Data represents typical averages; actual costs may vary with network congestion.)
🎮 Why This Matters
- Ethereum remains the most secure and liquid chain but gas costs make it unsuitable for Web3 games or microtransactions.
- Polygon and XAI offer ultra-low fees and high throughput, making them ideal for Web3 games, NFT marketplaces, and consumer apps.
- Arbitrum and Optimism give DeFi platforms scalability without leaving Ethereum’s ecosystem.
- BNB Chain provides a balance of speed and adoption for mass-market dApps.
