Why is 'Low Fees' phrased that way instead of 'Fees'?

Every axis on a radar chart must point the same direction — higher must always mean better. 'Low Fees' scored high means cheap; an axis labelled 'Fees' would invert the meaning and make the shape misleading.

Are these scores objective?

They're directional and reflect commonly cited trade-offs, not benchmarks. Replace them with your own measured or sourced numbers before using the chart in anything decision-critical.

Can I compare L2s and L1s on the same chart?

You can, but note it in the labels — an L2 inherits security from its L1, so its security score means something different. Many people chart L1s and L2s separately for that reason.

About this template

Every blockchain trades off the same handful of properties, and no chain wins on all of them — which is exactly what makes a radar chart the right tool. Scoring throughput, decentralization, security, ecosystem, developer activity and low fees puts the blockchain trilemma on one picture: high-throughput chains typically give up decentralization, and the most decentralized chains pay for it in fees and speed. Use it to compare L1s before choosing where to deploy, to explain trade-offs to a non-technical audience, or to track how a chain's profile changes across upgrades. Scores are directional rather than benchmarked — edit them to match your own research, add or remove chains, and export the chart for a report or thread.

Attributes included

Throughput
Sustained transactions per second in real conditions.
Decentralization
Validator count, distribution and barrier to running a node.
Security
Cost to attack, track record and value secured.
Ecosystem
Depth of apps, liquidity, tooling and users.
Developer Activity
Active contributors and shipping cadence.
Low Fees
How cheap a typical transaction is — higher is cheaper.
