How to tell if a blockchain is actually healthy? The answer's simpler than you'd think.

Three things matter. First, users stay active—transaction volume and engagement don't vanish after the hype dies down. Second, the development team keeps shipping—actual features, upgrades, real progress that moves the protocol forward. Third, the infrastructure holds steady—nodes run reliably, transaction throughput stays consistent, no random crashes killing the network.

When all three are clicking? That's a blockchain with a real pulse.

That's right, these three points are the most likely to reveal the truth. Chains that rely solely on marketing to take off will show their true colors once the hype dies down, with trading volume dropping sharply... A truly active public chain must have users, developers, and a smooth network—all three are essential.

That's right, these three points are the most critical. But currently, there are very few that can actually be achieved; most of them were still praising user activity yesterday, and today the chain is stuck and unresponsive...

That's true, but in reality, chains that have all three are really rare...

That's correct, but there are very few truly active chains; most are just hotbeds for scam coins.

NGL, these three points are pretty good, but I don't think there are many chains that can actually survive...

That's right, only these three are reliable. But in reality, how many chains can truly dominate completely? Most of them are just hype and then nobody cares anymore.
