In 2025, Web3 networks continue to evolve. Projects like Mantle, Sui, and BlockDAG offer unique technical solutions to improve performance and scalability.
Mantle: Efficient Build with a Modular Approach
Mantle is a modular Ethereum Layer 2 network using Optimistic Rollups and a decentralized data layer to reduce gas fees while maintaining Ethereum security. Since its launch, Mantle's MNT coin price has risen from $0.79 to $1.22. Its total value locked has exceeded $950 million.
Sui: Fast Layer 1 Blockchain with Move Language
Sui, by Mysten Labs, is a high-speed Layer 1 chain using the Move language, allowing parallel transaction processing and achieving finality in under one second. SUI's price rose from $0.77 to $1.39, indicating increased developer interest and adoption in gaming and DeFi platforms.
BlockDAG Beta Testnet: Real Tools for Developers
BlockDAG offers a fully operational beta testnet where participants can try out apps and tools before the mainnet launch. It allows the creation of ERC-standard assets without programming and uses a WASM-compatible engine. The crypto sale has reached $210 million, showing high interest in the project.
Mantle and Sui present strong platforms with solid designs, but BlockDAG provides developers with real tools, engaging them with a next-gen infrastructure even before the mainnet launch.
