How this list is built
DeFi Intel maps 11,787 entities and 25,338 relationships extracted from source-cited crypto news and research. An alternative to OP Mainnet is defined here as another tracked chain ranked by how many knowledge-graph neighbors it shares with OP Mainnet, with ties broken by PageRank (graph centrality). Only entities with their own DeFi Intel profile page are listed. This page is generated from the graph data alone and contains no editorial ranking or opinion.
