Aptos vs BNB
Split decision: Aptos leads on Cheapest blockchain transaction fee, live across L1 and L2 chains ($0.0000322 vs $0.000661); BNB leads on Cheapest blockchain to deploy a token, live USD cost per L1 chain ($0.0171 vs $0.0766). Data as of 2026-11-14 UTC.
Aptos
Move-based L1 running a pipelined BFT consensus with sub-second blocks; a committed transaction is final.
BNB
Proof-of-Staked-Authority L1 with 21 active validators rotating per epoch. Probabilistic finality reached after roughly 2 blocks. Block time around 3 seconds.

Stablecoin float is where dollars are parked, not what they do. A chain can take in a billion that sits idle, and lose float to a single issuer redeeming. The figure is DefiLlama's chain-wide pegged-USD aggregate, every issuer combined; it does not separate a bridge inflow from a native mint, and a dollar bridged to an L2 counts on both chains, so rows are not additive. Read the net dollars with the percentage beside them: the same $400M is a rounding error on Ethereum and a doubling elsewhere.

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.
