Q1 2026 Kaiko Blockchain Ecosystem Ranking Released

The latest Kaiko Blockchain Ecosystem Ranking is now available.

This quarter, Ethereum and Solana retained first and second spots, respectively, but we saw a new entrant to the top three, with Arbitrum claiming third spot.

The top three ecosystems all scored higher than last quarter, reflecting an increase in institutional adoption of DLT and blockchain technology.

The Kaiko Blockchain Ecosystem Ranking is updated quarterly, evaluating blockchain ecosystems for tokenization, using a proprietary methodology combining quantitative and qualitative analysis to guide market participants.
