The digital asset landscape now encompasses hundreds of blockchain networks, each offering different capabilities, regulatory models, and operational standards. This broad landscape creates complexity when it comes to selecting the right ecosystem for issuing and managing tokenized funds, securities, and RWAs.

Kaiko’s new ranking addresses this challenge by providing a transparent, data-driven framework to assess blockchain ecosystems across multiple dimensions of suitability for tokenisation.

The Kaiko Blockchain Ecosystem Ranking currently covers 15 leading networks. It is built on a proprietary methodology that combines both quantitative and qualitative analysis, utilizing data from public blockchains, regulatory filings, developer activity, DeFi adoption, network security, and institutional adoption. Each blockchain ecosystem is scored based on five core criteria: governance, integration, liquidity, operational efficiency, and security, each further divided into sub-criteria and weighted to reflect their importance for institutional deployment.

“Our Blockchain Ecosystem Ranking is designed to bring clarity and transparency to a fragmented and complex market, giving decision-makers a robust framework for selecting the most suitable blockchain infrastructure for their needs,” said Ambre Soubiran, CEO of Kaiko.

“By leveraging our global data coverage and rigorous methodology, we’re empowering market participants to make more informed decisions in the growing world of digital assets and tokenisation.”

The ranking includes a proprietary rating system, the Kaiko Blockchain Ecosystem Rating, which highlights networks that consistently perform across multiple dimensions. Scores and ratings are reviewed quarterly, with extraordinary reviews conducted in the event of major security or regulatory events.

Full ranking results and the detailed methodology are freely accessible on Kaiko’s website. The ranking and underlying data can also be licensed for use in commercial products and research.
