What is a ghost chain? How to spot dead or dormant crypto projects
Ghost chains refer to blockchain projects with little to no real activity, adoption or developer engagement.
Ghost chains are blockchains that are technically operational but have little to no real-world usage, development, or community engagement.
Common warning signs include stagnant developer activity, low transaction volume, inactive communities, and exchange delistings.
Even well-funded or corporate-backed projects like Diem, KodakCoin, and Luna can fail if adoption and ecosystem growth stall.
