- 1Plural of blockchain.

Several public blockchains process thousands of transactions every minute.
Note
A regular -s plural, and its use shows what the word counts. Each distributed network keeps its own shared record, so the plural counts separate networks rather than entries within one: two blockchains are two systems. Inside a single network the record is spoken of in the singular, as the blockchain. However many transactions it holds, it remains one blockchain.
