Algorand vs Sui
Algorand leads on 3 of 4 shared benchmarks, Sui on 1. Algorand wins on Highest staking yield, live net APR by proof-of-stake chain (4.65% vs 1.21%), Cheapest blockchain transaction fee, live across L1 and L2 chains ($0.0000832 vs $0.000844), Cheapest blockchain to deploy a token, live USD cost per L1 chain ($0.00841 vs $0.3877). Sui wins on Fastest L1 blockchain finality, live wall-clock measurement per chain (0.25 s vs 2.8 s). Data as of 2026-11-14 UTC.
Algorand
Pure proof-of-stake L1 where a randomly selected committee agrees on each block, so a block is final as soon as it is committed, with rounds of roughly 3 seconds.
Sui
Move-based L1 using Mysticeti BFT consensus over a DAG. Owned-object transactions bypass consensus via Fast Path. Deterministic finality under one second.

Net yield
Algorandn/aSuin/a
Nominal yield in the staked token, not real yield: a 19% APR on a token that inflates 12% a year is worth less than it looks, and price moves dominate both. MEV is included on Solana only and excluded on Ethereum. ICP is one neuron profile (2 year dissolve delay), Algorand one opt-in solo node, Ethereum one network average. Stellar and Somnia are not ranked, see the methodology.

How this pair was selected
Auto-generated pairs require: both providers in the same benchmark for seven consecutive days, at least 1000 samples per provider, observable third-party search demand, and a public /products/[slug] page on OCB. Editorially curated pairs (like this one) may publish early when search demand is high and data is accruing; panels with fewer than 100 samples are shown as provisional. The full pair ledger is versioned in the public repo.
