New data from Nansen listed the highly EVM compatible chains that have witnessed the best on-chain activity in the past seven days.
Like the Ethereum blockchain, these chains are blockchains that use the capabilities of EVM, allowing developers to build DAPP and smart contracts.
As reported in today’s latest Nansen data, several EVM blockchains (led by IOTA, Hyperliquid, and many others) experienced impressive growth in chain activity last week.
Some EVM chains were due to strong week and other pure throughput due to user growth.

IOTA leads active wallet activity
First, the data listed the top EVM chains with growing active addresses over the week.
The IOTA network emerged as the top EVM chain that recorded the biggest increase in active addresses last week, representing a significant 123% increase.
Regarding the surge in active wallets, the second largest EVM chain is high lipids. High lipid blockchain saw a 35% increase in active addresses per week. This notable rise has been linked to a revival of hype. Over the past seven days, the asset price has risen 27.8%, allowing it to rise to a new ATH of $37.24 two days ago. This means investors are investing capital in more diversified derivative exchanges than ever before. The network attracts many active wallets, indicating increased reliability in the platform.
SEI networks have emerged as the third most popular EVM chain, with an increase of 22% in active addresses recorded last week. This diagram highlights the growing chains where users are using DAPP on their networks. This increase indicates an increase in engagement and use of SEI networks.
BNB chain leads transaction volumes
Nansen’s data also listed the top EVM chains that recorded the highest transaction volume in the past seven days.
The BNB chain has broken through all other EVM chains, and has seen a significant increase in transaction volume over the past week. It is no coincidence that BNB chains are the leader in crypto trading volumes. The network has been working strategically to become the top chain of crypto trading activities. Its simplified platform, low transaction fees and fast processing times make it your biggest choice for crypto trading.
Sonic Labs took the second position and defeated the other EVM chains in terms of transaction volume. Over the past seven days, Sonic Labs’ transaction volume has increased by 13%. This is an indicator of increased capital inflows and increased user activity in the EVM chain.
Finally, the Scroll ZKP network reached its third position and introduced it as a prominent EVM chain. Scrolls, the Ethereum Layer-2 scaling solution, has increased transaction volume by 11% and knocked other EVM chains from the list.
