Classification of App Chains and Their Distinct Differences
1. General-purpose Chains
Ethereum, Base, Optimism, Arbitrum, etc.
A versatile environment where any application can be deployed.
Gas fees and token design depend on the platform.

Chains specialized for specific meme coins, chip tokens, and limited communities.
Structured around community activities (tips, rewards, participatory events).
High degree of freedom in the economic zone, but mainly driven by culture and fan base.
Often lacking in long-term use cases.

uni, Hyperliquid, syndicate, dream
Optimized around specific applications (DeFi, games, social, etc.).
