The latest report by Gate Research, titled *"<a href="https://www.gate.com/learn/articles/gate-research-strategic-layout-of-next-gen-chains-sonic-berachain-abstract-sui-hyperliquid-unichain-sei/9253" target="_blank">Strategic Layout of Next-Gen Chains ：Sonic, Berachain, Abstract, Sui, Hyperliquid, Unichain, Sei</a>"*, provides an in-depth examination of the blockchain infrastructure sector as it transitions from a phase of “multi-chain warfare” to one of “stock-based competition.” Focusing on seven representative next-generation blockchains—Sonic, Berachain, Abstract, Sui, Hyperliquid, Unichain, and Sei Network—the report reveals how these projects are reshaping the competitive landscape through differentiated strategic approaches.

**Key Takeaways:**
- Intensifying Public Chain Competition and Strategic Differentiation: The report highlights that by 2025, blockchain infrastructure has entered a "zero-sum phase" of competition. Next-generation public chains—including high-performance chains (e.g., Sonic), innovative consensus model chains (e.g., Berachain), Layer 2 solutions (e.g., Abstract, Unichain), and DeFi-optimized chains (e.g., Sei, Hyperliquid)—are redefining the new phase of “inter-chain warfare” through distinct strategic positioning, technical innovation, and ecosystem incentives.
- Sui: Performance Potential Amid Security Concerns: The report provides an in-depth analysis of Sui’s performance-centric path built on the Move programming language and parallel execution architecture. However, following the attack on Cetus on May 22, 2025, Sui’s ecosystem TVL plunged from $2.1 billion to $1.542 billion, sparking widespread industry concerns over the real-world security of Move-based implementations.
- Sonic: Explosive Growth and Incentive Effectiveness: Driven by a dual engine of “performance + incentives,” Sonic achieved nearly 40x growth in TVL within just three months of its mainnet launch, surpassing $1 billion. Its on-chain “GDP” reached $1.47 million, providing strong validation of its ecosystem incentive strategy.
- Berachain: PoL Innovation and Liquidity-Driven Governance: Berachain introduces a novel paradigm with its unique Proof of Liquidity (PoL) consensus and tri-token model ($BERA, $BGT, $HONEY), integrating liquidity with governance. As of May 20, 2025, its TVL reached $1.189 billion.
- Abstract: Consumer-Oriented Layer 2 Strategy: Abstract positions itself as a consumer-grade Ethereum Layer 2 solution, significantly reducing user barriers through chain abstraction. As of May 22, 2025, its DeFi TVL exceeded $27 million, with tool-based protocols contributing the majority—indicating that its early ecosystem is mainly driven by tools and speculative activity.
- Hyperliquid: On-Chain Perpetuals and Profitability Surge:  As a self-developed L1 chain focused on perpetual futures trading, Hyperliquid has reached a TVL of approximately $1.309 billion, with daily perpetual volume exceeding $11.5 billion. It has secured a leading position in the on-chain derivatives space, demonstrating strong profitability and deep high-frequency trading activity.
- Unichain: Uniswap-Led Growth and Liquidity Incentives: Unichain, a DeFi-optimized Layer 2 developed by Uniswap Labs, launched a $5 million incentive program that drove its TVL from $9 million to $267 million, reaching approximately $530 million by May 23, 2025—of which Uniswap contributed the vast majority.
- Sei Network: DeFi Optimization and Strong User Metrics: Focused on DeFi and high-frequency trading, Sei Network utilizes an on-chain central limit order book (CLOB). As of May 25, 2025, its TVL reached $487 million, with over 300,000 daily active addresses.

The report emphasizes that next-generation public chains have entered a new phase characterized by a three-pronged competition in performance, application scenarios, and incentive models. Future success will depend on a project’s ability to maintain technological innovation while fostering a stable and thriving developer and user ecosystem.

Gate Research Institute recommends: that market participants focus on differentiated positioning among chains, balance between technology and usability, sustainable ecosystem incentives, strengthening cross-chain collaboration, and leveraging convergence trends. A thorough analysis of each project’s economic model, governance mechanism, and ecosystem resilience will offer forward-looking guidance for investment decisions and technology adoption.
