There are numerous public chains, but users are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

A few days ago, I conducted a survey on blockchain user activity, and the results were surprising:
- Thunder High-performance sidechain for Bitcoin
- Cat and Mouse Game Bitcoin’s Wild West and the RegulatorsR...
- Forbes interview with US Congressman French Hill The United States ...
-
17% of the voters have never used the Ethereum mainnet.
-
34% have never conducted a Bitcoin transaction.
“Never Used” Percentage Rankings
Here are 7 other important insights from the survey:
The Power of the Cardano Community
Firstly, the Cardano community is very active.
This survey attracted more fans from Cardano compared to other blockchains.
The number of participants from Cardano was 6.3K, while other blockchains had around 2.7K.
However, 64% of the respondents have never used Cardano.

The Real Activity of Litecoin
Secondly, you guys are not using Litecoin.
In the past 7 days, only 28 people have used Litecoin, and over 97.8% either have never used it or last used it a month ago.
This is surprising because in DeFiLlama’s daily active user ranking, Litecoin ranks fifth.
Litecoin is Old, but Can it Still Keep Up?
The Vibrancy of the Polygon Community
The Polygon community is also strong.
The voting for Polygon PoS and zkEVM is 50% higher than other chains.
Polygon and Polygon zkEVM Usage
This indicates that despite the expected $ZKS airdrop on zkSync, Polygon zkEVM is still more active than zkSync Era.

The Most Users in Recent Times
#BNB > #Solana > #Avalanche
In the past 7 days, BNB Chain has had more users compared to Solana and Avalanche.
40% of the voters have never used BNB Chain, and the percentage is even higher for Solana and Avalanche, at 56% and 63% respectively.
BNB Chain is the most widely used chain after Ethereum, Polygon PoS, and BTC.

Acceptance of Rollup Technology
Voters also prefer to use Optimistic Rollups, second only to Ethereum L1.
In the past 7 days, one-fourth of the respondents have used Arbitrum, followed by Base and Optimism.

The Dominance of Ethereum
Ethereum remains the leader.
Although the market appears calm, 37% of you have made at least one transaction on the mainnet in the past 7 days.
However, 17% of people have never used it, possibly due to high gas fees and cheaper alternatives.
Ethereum Network User Survey
The Special Case of Tron
Tron is the reason I originally wanted to conduct this poll.
According to Defillama’s data, it has the highest number of daily active users, but over 70% of voters have never used it.
Tron User Usage
According to your comments, Tron is typically used for CEX transfers and as a payment method in developing countries with weak banking systems.
Note that users may not be on Crypto Twitter, which could lead to biased results.
Limitations of the Survey
Overall, this survey does not meet basic scientific research standards.
It only represents a small fraction of users interested in DeFi on Crypto Twitter.
More importantly, the Cardano and Polygon communities are more active, which could lead to other communities being underestimated.
