🔍 Classification of Blockchain Architectures and Their Key Differences
1. General-Purpose Chains
Examples: Ethereum, Base, Optimism, Arbitrum
Description:
Open and flexible environments where any kind of dApp can be deployed
Gas fees and token mechanisms are controlled by the base layer
Easy to build on, but projects must compete with others for block space
Often suffer from congestion and rising gas costs
2. Community Chains
Examples: Chains built around meme coins, tipping tokens, or exclusive communities
Description:
Focused on community activities such as tipping, rewards, and participatory events
High flexibility in creating local economies
Driven mostly by culture and fanbase rather than utility
Often lack long-term use cases or sustainable economic models
3. Appchains (Application-Specific Chains)
Examples: Uniswap (Uni), Hyperliquid, Syndicate, Dream
Description:
Fully optimized for a specific application (e.g., DeFi, gaming, social)
Custom gas fee models, tokenomics, and governance controlled by the app itself
Allows high levels of control, scalability, and performance tuning
Ideal for projects aiming for both growth and long-term sustainability 0 reply

Many Web3 projects are now launching their own blockchains (appchains).
Why? Because owning your own chain means controlling your own economic zone — gas fees, governance, and incentives.
So the question is:
Why are projects still paying millions of dollars to use someone else’s infrastructure?
Take Base as an example. Once transactions hit around 12,200,
gas fees spike to over $1 per transaction. And as activity increases, so do the fees.
Most of this cost comes from users trying to prioritize their transactions, especially on DEXs.
But here's the thing:
It’s often far cheaper to host your own chain than to pay these recurring fees.
So why are we still paying a premium to others just for the privilege of using their sequencers?
We are entering the Appchain Era — more ecosystems are moving to their own rollups and app-specific chains.
However, this shift brings a new problem:
As more rollups depend on the same infrastructure providers,
crypto risks becoming centralized again — the very thing it was meant to solve.
So, how do we prevent this?
By encoding transparency, verifiability, and token-holder control into smart contracts,
we can decentralize sequencers and reclaim the ethos of Web3.
That’s how we move closer to Vitalik’s original vision — a world that’s open, decentralized, and truly user-owned.
This is one of the biggest challenges the crypto space needs to solve right now.
