When planning a token sale, projects need to closely evaluate which blockchain infrastructure provides the best fit for their product or service. In this article, I will try to provide an overview of the 27 most relevant blockchain infrastructures for ICO tokens. I will try to write an update of this post every month (and possibly add more variables). This way, actual developments and trends regarding token infrastructures can possibly be determined.

Potentially, I’ll be able to introduce a rating or scoring system in the future. At this time, the amount and quality of data is obviously not good enough to do so.

Market statistics

This article focuses on secondary markets, potentially providing a resource to projects that are looking to determine the right blockchain networks for their token/ICO. To sum it up, I personally believe that there are various different steps to determine the fitting infrastructure for a project (many more than the provided information). Secondary markets are one of the major benefits of tokenization, as “investors” gain instant liquidity. Therefore, the obvious choice for choosing a blockchain network that investors favor is the one that will ultimately lead to the highest liquidity.
