Top five best blockchains for NFTs

By Carlos Espinosa

With so many options to choose from, choosing which blockchain to mint your NFTs on can be a tricky matter. Here’s are the top 5 best blockchains for NFTs.

There is no definitive answer as to which blockchain is the best for an NFT.

Flow With a seamless user experience and a committed team of programmers, this platform was made with scalability and flexibility.

Flow is exceptionally versatile when it comes to making NFTs with unique utilities, executing 10,000 transactions per second at a low cost.

Cardano With an advanced proof-of-stake-powered architecture, Cardano offers a lot of flexibility for developers creating scalable applications on its blockchain.

Although not as high in performance as some of its counterparts, its support for applications makes it ideal for NFTs made for specific platforms and games.

Solana Currently one of the biggest candidates to potentially outmarket ETH and Cardano, Solana stands strong with over 400 Web 3.0 projects. With extremely high performance of over 65.000 transactions per-second at low fees, this is one of the first alternatives to consider for minting or trading NFTs.

In addition, Solana prides itself on being one of the only carbon-neutral blockchains in the market.

Ethereum Ethereum is by far the most popular blockchain for NFT projects. Featuring the biggest NFT marketplace in the world, OpenSea.

A large platform means a large community, an accessible API, and tons of knowledgeable and experienced users familiarized with the blockchain, who are always willing to help newcomers.

However, these advantages also come at a cost, as the famous “gas fees” charged on the Ethereum platform can be expensive.
