Chains that combine two of the mechanisms above. Most often a proof-of-work backbone with a proof-of-stake finality layer, or a proof-of-stake chain reserving specific roles for a stake-weighted committee — the intent is to inherit one mechanism's security while borrowing another's throughput.

Paid to miners / day is block reward × blocks per day at the protocol's target block time × price — what the network spends on its own security, and the budget an attacker would have to outspend. Block rewards come from WhatToMine, which averages transaction fees in for some chains (Bitcoin) and lists the subsidy alone for others; where it doesn't list a chain, the reward is derived from the halving schedule. Issuance / yr is new supply at today's reward against circulating supply. Difficulty 24h is WhatToMine's difficulty now against 24 hours earlier. Blank means no source publishes it.
Methodology — the rules under which each chain's family was decided. Wrapped, staked and pegged claims are listed separately and never counted toward this total.
