6 crypto projects are giving up their own chains for Solana, Ethereum, Base, Sui and Arc
A table of nine "chain migrations" is going viral. We checked each row against the projects' own posts: six are confirmed, three are not. Here is where each one is going and what its token did since.
What is TON? Telegram's blockchain explained, and why Toncoin is now Gram
TON (The Open Network) is a proof-of-stake blockchain wired into Telegram, with a wallet built into the messenger. Its coin, long called Toncoin, now trades as Gram (GRAM), and that rename is the first thing a new user can trip over.
What is Ethereum? How the global computer works, what ETH does and the risks
Ethereum is a public blockchain that runs programs called smart contracts, and ether (ETH) is the coin that pays for using it and secures it through staking. It launched in July 2015, switched from mining to proof of stake on September 15, 2022, and ETH traded near $2,267 as of November 2, 2026.
What is the XRP Ledger? How XRP works with no mining, and what Ripple holds
The XRP Ledger has run since 2012 and settles a new ledger every 4 to 6 seconds without mining. XRP is its coin, Ripple is a company that does not own it but reported holding 37.66 billion XRP at midyear, and RLUSD is Ripple's stablecoin on it.
What is BNB Chain? Three chains, 21 block makers and 0.45-second blocks
BNB Chain is three blockchains that all run on BNB: BNB Smart Chain (BSC) for apps, the cheaper layer 2 opBNB and the storage network Greenfield. Its speed comes from a small club: just 21 validators make BSC's blocks at any one time.
What is Sui? The object-based blockchain that says it settles in 390 ms
Sui is a layer-1 blockchain from Mysten Labs, founded by former Meta engineers, that launched in May 2023. It stores everything as objects with clear owners, runs smart contracts in Move and, by Sui's own figure, settles transactions in roughly 390 milliseconds. SUI has a 10 billion total supply.
Circle's Arc is live with Visa and BlackRock as validators. Why mint 10 billion ARC?
Circle opened Arc, its own blockchain where every fee is paid in USDC, on September 16. It also minted 10 billion ARC tokens, yet says there is no promise of a public token launch.
