My summary of the major blockchains – Did I understand correctly?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/CryptoCurrency

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • bips

    Bitcoin Improvement Proposals

  • The protocol is slow to evolve. The last modification is BIP-152 (which improved network traffic between nodes) in 2016.

  • awesome-wasm-langs

    😎 A curated list of languages that compile directly to or have their VMs in WebAssembly

  • The EOS Virtual Machine is a Web Assembly (WASM) engine that make it possible to debug, quickly compile, and optimize smart contracts, with a large choice of programming languages, such as C, Java, JavaScript, .net, Rust, Swift.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • clarion

  • Dan Larimer, the inventor of DPoS, started the first implementation on BitShares, then moved to Steem, then moved to EOS, and just moved to yet another blockchain project.

  • Documentation

    EOSIO Documents (by EOSIO)

  • EOS whitepaper by Dan Larimer

  • bsc

    A BNB Smart Chain client based on the go-ethereum fork

  • github bsc

  • cardano-node

    The core component that is used to participate in a Cardano decentralised blockchain.

  • The core implementation is in Haskell which is not the most popular programming language. I see a strong barrier of adaption for developers.

  • solidity

    Solidity, the Smart Contract Programming Language

  • Solidity programming language.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • metamask-extension

    :globe_with_meridians: :electric_plug: The MetaMask browser extension enables browsing Ethereum blockchain enabled websites

  • Metamask browser extension to enable dApps.

  • go

    The Go programming language

  • Programmed in go and uses protocol buffers. I like the use of Google battle-tested and open-source technologies.

  • goshimmer

    Prototype implementation of IOTA 2.0

  • As of today, the network is not decentralized, and a Coordinator run by the foundation protects the network from compute attack. Decentralization is planned in Q2 2021.

  • interface

    🦄 Open source interfaces for the Uniswap protocol

  • Very rich ecosystem. There are 2M smart contracts. There are 350,000 different tokens. There are 1,700+ dapps, or decentralise application using smart contracts. The most popular, Uniswap, allows to exchange any token against any other and is used by 542,000 MAU (monthly active users).

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
