1. Ethereum was developed in 2014 and v2.0 will be released in this year to be more scalable with 1500 transactions per second. Ethereum is a global, open-source platform for decentralized applications. On Ethereum, you can write code that controls digital value, runs exactly as programmed, and is accessible anywhere in the world.

2. EOS was developed in 2017. EOS is a blockchain platform designed for the real world. EOS does currently more then 3000+ transactions per second and can be optimized to do 100K or 1M TPS in the future. Its super-fast & no fees/no transaction costs that make it a unique blockchain system. EOS is built for both public and private use cases, is customizable to suit a wide range of business needs across industries with rich role-based security permissions, industry-leading speeds and secure application processing.

3. Cosmos Hub blockchain launched in March 2019. Cosmos is a decentralized network of independent parallel blockchains, each powered by BFT consensus algorithms like Tendermint consensus. Cosmos is an ecosystem of blockchains that can scale and interoperate with each other. Before Cosmos, blockchains were siloed and unable to communicate with each other. They were hard to build and could only handle a small amount of transactions per second. Cosmos solves these problems with a new technical vision. In order to understand this vision we need to go back to the fundamentals of blockchain technology.

4. Tezos is a new platform launched since 2014 for smart contracts and decentralized applications. The Tezos protocol offers a formal process through which stakeholders can efficiently govern the protocol and implement future innovations. The Tezos blockchain was designed to facilitate formal verification, which helps secure smart contracts and avoid buggy code. Tezos’ unique proof-of-stake consensus algorithm gives every stakeholder the opportunity to participate in the validation of transactions on the network and be rewarded by the protocol for doing so.

6. Zilliqa enables new solutions to real-world problems with its scalable, secure, high-performance public blockchain platform. Our journey began in 2016, when some of the founding members of the Zilliqa team wrote an academic paper on the implementation of sharding technology for scaling public blockchains. We have employed this research to build a scalable, secure, high-performance public blockchain platform that can enable new innovations and solutions.

7: Qtum is an open sourced public blockchain platform, leveraging the security of UTXO while enabling multiple virtual machines including EVM and the revolutionary x86 VM. Qtum is PoS based and boasts a Decentralized Governance Protocol (DGP) allowing specific blockchain settings to be modified by making use of smart contracts. For instance, the block size of Qtum can be increased without the need of a hard fork.

9. ICON was launched in 2017, the blockchain technology is being applied in the real world such as banks, securities firms, hospitals, and universities. Come see the crypto-world and the real-world connect with ICON. ICON is scalable not only to public blockchains(e.g. bitcoin, ethereum) but also private/permissioned, and other interchain blockchain networks. ICON will be in the center of connecting different blockchains to build a more valuable and scalable network. A transparent governance system and artificial intelligence (AI) guided incentive system is at the core of ICON’s sustainable network. Through the mutual trust earned with our system, C-Reps and Nodes will actively contribute to the ICON community.
