Blockchain Tech Stacks
Compare chains, languages, and tooling to find the right foundation for your project.
Ethereum
SolidityThe original smart contract platform. Best for high-value DeFi and maximum security.
Largest developer ecosystem
Most battle-tested
High gas fees on mainnet
Solana
RustHigh-performance blockchain optimized for speed and low fees.
Extremely fast
Low transaction costs
More complex development (Rust)
Polygon
SolidityLeading Ethereum scaling solution.
EVM compatible
Low fees
Less decentralized than Ethereum mainnet
Base
SolidityCoinbase's L2 built on the OP Stack.
Backed by Coinbase
EVM compatible
Newer ecosystem
Arbitrum
SolidityLeading Optimistic Rollup for Ethereum.
High DeFi TVL
EVM equivalent
Withdrawal delays to mainnet
