You can do research on a block-chain project by simply going to there communities and viewing their website, however all the time you won't get an accurate picture of what is going on. Mostly behind the scenes is where you need to get information and this source I am sharing some of you may know of, but it is really helpful for seeing exactly where your block-chain project ranks among others for activity. Speculation is one thing, and solving problems that are highly in demand is another good thing as well, but usage and daily activity is something that is missed for a lot of people's methods of collecting information.
Below is the current top 10 active block-chains people are using and not just waiting around to see what it CAN do. You can go over each individual project if you like on your own, to see what each does and how they work. You can also find the columns next to each project and find more info about the statistic on the website I took this snap shot from. My point is that some projects you cannot trust just because they have a high market cap. Also remember this is just one way for conducting your research, do not think this the only way to find an amazing project.
