Avalanche vs Sui
Avalanche leads on 1 of 3 shared benchmarks, Sui on 2. Avalanche wins on Cheapest blockchain transaction fee, live across L1 and L2 chains ($0.000626 vs $0.00718). Sui wins on Fastest L1 blockchain finality, live wall-clock measurement per chain (0.23 s vs 5.8 s), Fastest Wormhole VAA finalization by source chain, live latency (2.96 s vs 3.71 s). Data as of 2026-10-25 UTC.
Avalanche
Primary Network runs the Snowman BFT consensus derived from Snow protocols. Sub-second deterministic finality with no chain reorganizations.
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
Avalanchen/aSuin/a
Honest scope. (1) `net_yield = gross_apr × uptime`. NOT "yield net of MEV", Stakewiz `total_apy` already folds Jito MEV into gross, MEV is INCLUDED. `mev_share_bps` exists for transparency, not subtraction. (2) Solana median is dragged by ~42 vals at 0% APY (commission 100% or zero leader slots). (3) Hyperliquid: centralised sequencer, no separate MEV layer, ~30 vals only. (4) Ethereum: one network-average consensus-layer APR from the beacon spec formula, execution tips and MEV excluded.

Stablecoin flow by chain: where dollars actually moved over 30 days

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.
