10 Chains Growing Fastest on Blockscout Right Now
From a brand-new tokenized-equity chain to a 60% jump on Tezos's EVM chain, here are the 10 chains showing the strongest growth on Blockscout this month.
TL;DR. We checked daily transaction data on 30 chains over the last 30 days (June 14 to July 14, 2026) via the Pro API, comparing the first week of that window to the most recent week. This post spotlights the 10 chains with the strongest growth trajectories over the past month.
- Robinhood Chain leads by a wide margin: roughly 22,000 transactions a day in its first week of data to 8.5 million a day by mid-July!
- Real, sustained growth also showed up on Ethereum (+30.6%), Arbitrum (+14.5%), Etherlink (+12.2%), Celo (+4.6%), HashKey (+2.6%), and Shape (+1.7%).
- IOTA EVM (+59.0%) and TAC Mainnet (+44.3%) posted the largest percentage gains of any chain we checked, but smaller initial user bases means this is a signal to watch rather than a confirmed trend yet.
- Gnosis rounds out the list, not for big increases in this month's transaction count, but for real ecosystem momentum: the Ethereum Economic Zone initiative and a Circles v2 rollout worth watching over the next few months.
How We Picked These
Every number below came from a live pull on Blockscout's /api/v2/stats and /api/v2/stats/charts/transactions endpoints on July 15, 2026, across 30 chains. We compared the average daily transaction count in the first 7 days of that window to the most recent 7 days to measure direction and magnitude. This is a curated list of the strongest growth stories we found.
The Standout: Robinhood Chain
| First-week avg (daily) | Last-week avg (daily) | Change | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Robinhood Chain | 22,157 | 8,519,192 | +38,350% |
Robinhood Chain launched with Blockscout as its official explorer in early July, and the data shows exactly what a chain launch looks like from the inside. Daily transactions sat in the tens of thousands through most of the second half of June (testing period), then climbed sharply in the first days of July, crossing a million a day by July 2 and topping 10.8 million a day by July 10. By the most recent week in our window, Robinhood Chain is averaging 8.5 million transactions a day, already ahead of Arbitrum One and Ethereum mainnet on raw transaction count.
Transaction count alone doesn't capture value or complexity; a tokenized-equity settlement chain in its first month looks different from Ethereum mainnet no matter how the raw numbers compare. What it does show is that Robinhood Chain went from a cold start to real, sustained throughput inside of two weeks, with Blockscout's indexers capturing every block.
Six Steady Growth Stories
| Chain | First-week avg | Last-week avg | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ethereum | 2.05M | 2.68M | +30.6% |
| Arbitrum One | 1.71M | 1.96M | +14.5% |
| Etherlink | 237,785 | 266,764 | +12.2% |
| Celo | 1.13M | 1.19M | +4.6% |
| HashKey | 44,058 | 45,218 | +2.6% |
| Shape | 44,087 | 44,843 | +1.7% |
Ethereum's 30.6% week-over-week increase stands out because mainnet activity is usually the least volatile figure in any given month; a jump that size over three weeks is worth watching to see if the momentum holds. Arbitrum's 14.5% climb moves the same direction, and Etherlink, the EVM-compatible chain built on Tezos, posted a solid 12.2% gain across the window.
Celo, HashKey, and Shape are smaller by transaction volume, but each grew consistently across the window with no down weeks pulling the average back. Steady growth is more important than single day growth which increases the average but doesn't show increasing regular usage.
Two to Watch: IOTA EVM and TAC Mainnet
| Chain | First-week avg | Last-week avg | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| IOTA EVM | 15,472 | 24,596 | +59.0% |
| TAC Mainnet | 4,889 | 7,056 | +44.3% |
These posted the two largest percentage gains of any chains we checked, but growth was more volatile. Individual days impacted these averages more so than with other chains (IOTA EVM ranged from under 9,000 to nearly 49,000 in a single week; TAC Mainnet spiked to almost 16,000 against a typical day closer to 5,000). Percentage jumps like this provide good signal that something is happening, but not yet a confirmed trend like with Ethereum & Arbitrum.
Rounding Out the List: Gnosis
Gnosis didn't grow or lose on transaction count this month, it held steady with a healthy user base. It's on this list for a different reason: real ecosystem momentum that's worth watching over the next few months.
Gnosis and ZisK publicly introduced the Ethereum Economic Zone (EEZ) at EthCC 2026, a synchronously composable Layer 2 framework co-funded by the Ethereum Foundation, aimed at making Gnosis Chain a natively integrated Ethereum rollup. Alongside that, Circles v2 rolled out with tradable individual Circles, native group support, and reduced onboarding friction, now fully integrated into the Gnosis App. The app itself grew too: users climbed from 20,198 to 22,308 and median daily active users rose 18.1% between April and May 2026, per GnosisDAO's own community updates.
This isn't showing up in a 30-day transaction count yet. But it's laying the groundwork that will show up in the numbers in a few months, which is exactly why it's worth flagging now rather than waiting for the chart to move first.
Pull the Same Data Yourself
Every number in this piece came from two Pro API endpoints anyone can query with a free Pro API key: /api/v2/stats for current totals and network utilization, and /api/v2/stats/charts/transactions for the 30-day daily trend. Swap the chain_id parameter to pull the same data for any of the 100+ chains Blockscout indexes.
