# EVM Chains

{% hint style="info" %}
*This use case demonstrates how Orus’s on-chain analytics dashboard can provide actionable insights into benchmarking for EVM chains. By leveraging these metrics, users can enhance their decision-making processes.*
{% endhint %}

## 🎯 Objective

*What are you trying to achieve?*

To benchmark the performance and utilization of various EVM-compatible chains (such as Arbitrum, Avalanche, Polygon, etc.) by analyzing critical on-chain metrics. This helps users make informed decisions about network usage, scalability, and overall blockchain performance.

## 💪 Audience

*Who would this be ideal for?*

* Blockchain Developers
* DeFi Project Managers
* Crypto Investors & Analysts
* Research Analysts

## 🚀 Business Impact

*How can this solve your problem?*

* Choose the most appropriate chain for your needs, ensuring optimal performance and scalability for your dApps.
* Identifying the most robust and active chains, you can strategically launch your projects on platforms with the best user engagement and network stability
* Get a clear view of which chains are gaining traction and which might be facing performance issues, guiding investment decisions towards the most promising opportunities.
* Produce comprehensive reports on the state of EVM chains, helping stakeholders make informed decisions about their blockchain strategies.

## 🤔 Exploratory Questions

*Questions you might have*

> * "Which EVM chain has the highest daily active users, and what does this imply about user adoption?"
> * "How does block utilization vary across different chains, and what does this indicate about network efficiency and scalability?"
> * "Which chain processes the most transactions, and how does that correlate with block size and block count?"
> * "How does median block size differ between chains, and what impact does this have on network throughput and transaction costs?"
> * "Which chains demonstrate consistent performance over time, and are there any spikes or dips that warrant further investigation?"
