Ethereum is a distributed blockchain computing platform for smart contracts and decentralized applications. Its native token is ETH, which primarily serves as a means of payment for transaction fees and collateral for borrowing specific ERC-20 tokens within DeFi. Ethereum has pioneered the concept of a blockchain smart contract platform. 

Steakwallet allows you to dive deep into the world of Ethereum, from native integrations (staking and liquid staking of Ethereum tokens right in-app, as well as non-staking opportunities through vaults and lending), to featured non-native integrations that direct you straight to dApps (AMMs, DEXs, bridges, lending protocols, NFT marketplaces, and more). This is the place where you can come to learn more about staking, interact with your favorite dApps, explore new opportunities, and check in on the latest, as we showcase the hottest projects and alternative opportunities across the Ethereum network.

FANTOM is a new DAG based Smart Contract platform that intends to solve the scalability issues of existing public distributed ledger technologies.

The platform intends to distinguish itself from the traditional block ledger-based storage infrastructure by attempting to employ an improved version of existing DAG-based pro-tocols. The FANTOM platform adopts a new protocol known as the “Lachesis Protocol” to maintain consensus. This protocol is intended to be integrated into the Fantom OPERA Chain. The aim is to allow applications built on top of the FANTOM OPERA Chain to enjoy instant transactions and near zero transaction costs for all users.

The mission of FANTOM is to provide compatibility between all transaction bodies around the world, and create an ecosystem which allows real-time transactions and data sharing with low cost.

Arbitrum is a suite of Ethereum scaling solutions that enables high-throughput, low cost smart contracts while remaining trustlessly secure. Arbitrum has three modes: AnyTrust Channels, AnyTrust Sidechains, and Arbitrum Rollup.

Solana is a general purpose blockchain similar to Ethereum. It has a different technical underlying such that developers write applications using Rust instead of Solidity or Vyper. End user applications as of now include decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFT), marketplaces, games, and more.

One of its biggest feature is its scalability in which Solana is able to process over 700,000 transactions per second. Its high throughput capability appeals to high frequency traders, in which spearheaded by FTX and Alameda Research. The first use case for DeFi application on Solana is Serum, built by the team behind FTX.

Polygon (Previously Matic Network) is the first well-structured, easy-to-use platform for Ethereum scaling and infrastructure development. Its core component is Polygon SDK, a modular, flexible framework that supports building multiple types of applications.

Using Polygon, one can create Optimistic Rollup chains, ZK Rollup chains, stand alone chains or any other kind of infra required by the developer. 

Polygon effectively transforms Ethereum into a full-fledged multi-chain system (aka Internet of Blockchains). This multi-chain system is akin to other ones such as Polkadot, Cosmos, Avalanche etc with the advantages of Ethereum’s security, vibrant ecosystem and openness.

Balancer is an AMM protocol for programmable liquidity.

Binance Smart Chain (BSC) is a L1 blockchain network that runs on a Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, that aims to enable developers to build dApps and help users manage their digital assets with low latency and large capacity. BSC implements the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), which allows it to run Ethereum-based applications. BNB is the network’s PoS token that can be staked to contribute to network security and vote on governance proposals.

The Cosmos network consists of many independent, parallel blockchains, called zones, each powered by classical Byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT) consensus protocols like Tendermint (already used by platforms like ErisDB). Some zones act as hubs with respect to other zones, allowing many zones to interoperate through a shared hub. The architecture is a more general application of the Bitcoin sidechains concept, using classic BFT and Proof-of-Stake algorithms, instead of Proof-of-Work.Cosmos can interoperate with multiple other applications and cryptocurrencies, something other blockchains can’t do well. By creating a new zone, you can plug any blockchain system into the Cosmos hub and pass tokens back and forth between those zones, without the need for an intermediary.

Avalanche is a high throughput smart contract blockchain platform. Validators secure the network through a proof-of-stake consensus protocol. It is said to be fast, low cost, and environmental friendly.

Mainnet was launched in September 21, 2020. Since then, the platform has grown to secure over 100+ individual projects, $1.4M+ of AVAX burned (reducing supply), 950+ individual block-producing validators, and over 500k+ community members around the globe. Decentralized finance (DeFi) applications can be found on Avalanche such as Pangolin, TraderJoe, and more.
