Best-Performing EVM Chains Based on Active Addresses (Last 7 Days)

Base – 9.78M active addresses (+42%) BNB Chain – 7.88M (+4.8%) Ethereum – 2.18M (+9.2%) Polygon – 2.08M (+2.5%) Sei v2 – 1.46M (+64%) Arbitrum – 1.03M (+5.9%) Avalanche – 1.01M (+27%)

Key Takeaways

Base has emerged as the most active EVM chain this week, crossing 9.7 million addresses and posting an impressive 42% increase in just 7 days. This growth is likely fueled by rising DeFi and gaming activity on the Coinbase-backed Layer 2 network.

Sei Network v2 showed the highest percentage growth, soaring 64% week-over-week, a sign of increasing momentum for this performance-optimized chain as it expands its ecosystem.

Ethereum, despite lower address counts compared to newer chains, maintained healthy growth at 9.2%, underscoring its continued dominance and utility.

Avalanche also posted strong growth (+27%), likely driven by surging interest in token launches and DeFi experiments.

Conclusion

As user engagement on Layer 2s and alt-EVM chains accelerates, it’s becoming clear that multi-chain activity is the new norm. Base and Sei are gaining fast, while Ethereum remains the anchor of the EVM ecosystem.

These trends suggest a diversifying user base — and developers, investors, and protocols should be watching these chains closely.
