The data behind the chains. 链条背后的数据。

A side-by-side comparison of the eleven blockchain networks that matter most in 2026 — Bitcoin to Solana to Arbitrum to Psy Protocol — across the dimensions you actually care about: TPS, finality, cost, decentralization, ecosystem, and use-case fit. Numbers from public benchmarks; trade-offs stated honestly; no marketing.

01 · OVERVIEW

The blockchain trilemma 区块链不可能三角

Vitalik Buterin's framing: a blockchain optimizes for at most two of scalability, security, and decentralization. The third sags. Every protocol architecture is, fundamentally, a particular choice of which axis to surrender. Modular blockchains, ZK proofs, and parallel execution all attempt to bend this triangle — none have eliminated it.
Vitalik Buterin 的框架:一条区块链最多只能在可扩展性安全性去中心化三者中优化两项。第三项必然下沉。每一个协议架构本质上都是「放弃哪个轴」的特定选择。模块化区块链、ZK 证明、并行执行都试图弯折这个三角——但没有一个消除它。
SCALABILITY 可扩展性 SECURITY 安全性 DECENTRALIZED 去中心化 BTC ETH SOL AVAX PSY ★
Where each chain sits is a function of its design priorities. Bitcoin and Ethereum sit near the security/decentralization edge — slow but unshakable. Solana sits near scalability/security — extremely fast but with concentrated validators. Psy Protocol's design intent is the unusual interior point: pull the triangle toward the middle by using recursive ZK proofs to absorb the scalability tradeoff while preserving security.
每条链的位置是其设计优先级的函数。比特币与以太坊位于安全/去中心化边缘——缓慢但不可撼动。Solana 位于可扩展性/安全边——极快但验证者集中。Psy Protocol 的设计意图是那个不寻常的内部点:通过递归 ZK 证明吸收可扩展性的代价,同时保留安全性,把三角向中央拉拢。

Reads from the table · 可由表读出

Solana wins on raw L1 throughput and Cosmos wins on instant BFT finality. Bitcoin and Ethereum trade speed for the longest-validated security base. Optimistic rollups have the worst actual finality (7-day challenge window) — most users never feel it because exchanges front the liquidity. Psy's sustained-mainnet numbers are still being validated.

Solana 在 L1 原生吞吐上胜出,Cosmos 在即时 BFT 最终性上胜出。比特币与以太坊以速度换取经过最长验证的安全基础。乐观式卷叠的实际最终性最差(7 天挑战期)——多数用户感受不到,因为交易所垫付了流动性。Psy 的持续主网数据仍在验证中。

03 · SCALABILITY ARCHITECTURE

Five paths to throughput 通往吞吐的五条路径

Path 01
Bigger blocks
扩大区块
Solana, BSC, EOS. Just push more transactions per block. Ceiling: validator hardware costs grow until small operators are priced out — centralization creep.
Solana、BSC、EOS。每个块塞更多交易。上限:验证者硬件成本攀升,小运营商出局——中心化滑坡。
Path 02
Optimistic rollups
乐观式卷叠
Arbitrum, Optimism. Assume transactions are valid; allow challenges within a 7-day window. Cheap and EVM-compatible. Trade-off: long withdrawal periods.
Arbitrum、Optimism。假设交易合法;允许 7 天挑战期。便宜且兼容 EVM。代价:提现周期长。
Path 03
ZK rollups
ZK 卷叠
Polygon zkEVM, Scroll, zkSync, Linea. Cryptographic proof of validity per batch. Fast finality, no trust assumption. Trade-off: prover hardware cost.
Polygon zkEVM、Scroll、zkSync、Linea。每批次密码学有效性证明。最终性快、无信任假设。代价:证明器硬件成本。
Path 04
Sharding
分片
Ethereum (data sharding), Polkadot (parachains), Cosmos (IBC zones), Near. Split state across many shards; aggregate via cross-shard messaging.
以太坊(数据分片)、Polkadot(平行链)、Cosmos(IBC 域)、Near。状态分散在多分片间;通过跨分片消息聚合。
Path 05
Modular + recursive ZK
模块化 + 递归 ZK
Psy Protocol, Polygon Miden, Mina. Sharded execution, recursive proofs aggregate state, browser-side proving. Trade-off: still in validation.
Psy Protocol、Polygon Miden、Mina。分片执行、递归证明聚合状态、浏览器端证明。代价:仍在验证阶段。

05 · SECURITY & DECENTRALIZATION

Where the trust actually lives 信任究竟存在何处

Decentralization is not a single number. It has three sub-axes: node count (how many run the software), geographic spread (jurisdictional diversity), and client diversity (multiple independent implementations). Bitcoin and Ethereum lead on all three. Most "fast" L1s lead on raw TPS but often have only one client implementation — a bug in that client is a bug in the whole chain.
去中心化不是单一数字。它有三个子轴:节点数量(运行软件的数量)、地理分布(司法管辖多样性)、客户端多样性(多个独立实现)。比特币与以太坊在三轴上均领先。多数「快速」L1 在原始 TPS 上领先,但往往只有一个客户端实现——该客户端的 bug 即整链的 bug。
The hidden risk · 隐性风险

The 2024 Solana outage was a software bug in its single client implementation. The same risk applies to most "fast" L1s. Ethereum's diversity (Geth, Nethermind, Besu, Erigon, Reth) is a security feature, not just decentralization theater.

2024 年 Solana 宕机是其唯一客户端实现的软件 bug 所致。多数「快」L1 都面临同样风险。以太坊的客户端多样性(Geth、Nethermind、Besu、Erigon、Reth)是真正的安全特性,并非「去中心化作秀」。

★ 08 · PSY PROTOCOL DEEP DIVE

Psy Protocol — privacy at the scale of millions Psy 协议——百万用户级隐私链

Psy Protocol is a ZK-native independent blockchain designed for private, scalable settlement at consumer scale. Unlike most "ZK chains" (which are rollups posting to Ethereum), Psy is its own L1 with sharded execution and recursive Plonky2 proofs. The design intent: take the unusual interior point of the trilemma — pull all three axes toward the middle, sacrificing none entirely.
Psy 协议是一条 ZK 原生的独立区块链,针对消费级规模的隐私可扩展结算而设计。与多数「ZK 链」(实为发布到以太坊的卷叠)不同,Psy 是独立的 L1,具备分片执行与递归 Plonky2 证明。设计意图:占据不可能三角中那个不寻常的内部点——把三轴向中央拉拢,不彻底放弃任何一个。

Three properties make this combination unusual:
三个属性让这个组合独特:
Property 01 · Recursive ZK
Same proof system spans all layers
同一套证明系统贯穿所有层
Plonky2 aggregates shard proofs into one global proof per epoch. Verification cost stays roughly constant as throughput scales.
Plonky2 把分片证明聚合为每个时代的单一全局证明。验证成本随吞吐增长基本保持恒定。
Property 02 · Browser proving
Users hold both keys and compute
用户同时持有密钥与算力
WebGPU/Metal-accelerated Plonky2 means a user generates their own proof in-browser before submitting. No trusted prover, no 3rd-party leak surface.
借助 WebGPU/Metal 加速的 Plonky2,用户可在浏览器内生成自身证明再提交。无可信证明器、无第三方泄漏面。
Property 03 · ZK light clients

Cross-chain proofs verified inside Psy's circuits — no multisig custodians, no bridge-hack risk. Closest peers: Wormhole + IBC, but with cryptographic rather than economic guarantees.

Psy Protocol is in active development; the numbers above are design targets, not measured mainnet sustained throughput. Ethereum's moat is liquidity + battle-tested security. Solana's is speed + ecosystem. Psy's bet is that "privacy + scale + trustless cross-chain" becomes the requirement once AI agents transact at consumer scale — and that no other chain will be ready when it does.

Psy 协议仍在活跃开发中;以上数字为设计目标,非测得的主网持续吞吐。以太坊的护城河是流动性 + 经久验证的安全。Solana 的是速度 + 生态。Psy 的押注是:当 AI 智能体以消费级规模交易时,「隐私 + 规模 + 去信任跨链」将成为必需——而届时没有其它链准备好。

09 · BEST CHAIN, BY USE CASE

What you optimize for changes the answer 优化目标决定答案

Caveat · 警示

"Best chain" is a category error. The best chain depends on what you're building. A high-frequency DEX wants Solana; a sovereign treasury wants Bitcoin; an AI-agent payment rail wants something that doesn't exist yet — which is exactly what Psy is trying to be.

「最佳链」是一种类别错误。最佳链取决于你在构建什么。高频 DEX 要 Solana;主权财库要比特币;AI 智能体支付通道要某种尚不存在之物——这正是 Psy 试图成为的。

10 · FUTURE OF PERFORMANCE

What changes in the next 5 years 未来 5 年中变化的将是什么

Trend 01
Modular wins
模块化胜出
Execution, settlement, data availability, consensus split into separate networks (Celestia, EigenLayer, Espresso). Monolithic L1s lose ground to modular stacks composing best-of-breed components.
执行、结算、数据可用性、共识被拆分为独立网络(Celestia、EigenLayer、Espresso)。整体式 L1 让位于由各自最强组件组成的模块化栈。
Trend 02
ZK takes over verification
ZK 接管验证
Plonky2 → Plonky3 → STIR. Recursive proofs make verification cost constant regardless of computation size. By 2030, "trust this chain" is replaced by "verify this proof on your phone."
Plonky2 → Plonky3 → STIR。递归证明使验证成本与计算规模无关。到 2030 年,「信任这条链」被「在你手机上验证此证明」取代。
Trend 03
Hardware acceleration
硬件加速
FPGA + GPU + custom ASICs for ZK proving. Cost per proof drops 100×-1000× by 2028. Browser proving (WebGPU/Metal) becomes the default for client-side privacy.
FPGA + GPU + 自研 ASIC 用于 ZK 证明。到 2028 年每证明成本降低 100-1000 倍。浏览器证明(WebGPU/Metal)成为客户端隐私的默认方式。
Trend 04
Agent-driven volume
智能体驱动的体量
When AI agents transact at machine speed, throughput requirements jump 100-1000×. Sub-cent settlement and sub-second finality become hard requirements, not nice-to-haves. This is the regime Psy is designed for.
当 AI 智能体以机器速度交易时,吞吐需求跃升 100-1000 倍。亚分钱级结算与亚秒级最终性从「nice-to-have」变为硬性要求。这正是 Psy 所设计的状态。
Trend 05
Privacy as default
隐私作为默认
Regulatory frameworks (MiCA, US Treasury) push for selective-disclosure rather than transparent ledgers. Privacy chains gain compliance advantages — provided they ship the disclosure tooling.
监管框架(MiCA、美财政部)推动选择性披露而非透明账本。隐私链取得合规优势——前提是其交付披露工具链。
Trend 06
L2 consolidation
L2 整合
~50 EVM L2s today. By 2028: 5-10 dominant. The rest die or merge. Aggregation layers (AggLayer, Polygon CDK) become the practical user interface; chain identity becomes invisible to end-users.
如今约 50 条 EVM L2。到 2028:仅 5-10 条主导。其余消亡或合并。聚合层(AggLayer、Polygon CDK)成为实际用户界面;链身份对终端用户不可见。
