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.

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.

Tezos is a blockchain network that’s based on smart contracts, in a way that’s not too dissimilar to Ethereum. However, there’s a big difference: Tezos aims to offer infrastructure that is more advanced — meaning it can evolve and improve over time without there ever being a danger of a hard fork. This is something that both Bitcoin and Ethereum have suffered since they were created. People who hold XTZ can vote on proposals for protocol upgrades that have been put forward by Tezos developers.

Celo is a blockchain ecosystem focused on increasing cryptocurrency adoption among smartphone users.

By using phone numbers as public keys, Celo hopes to introduce the world’s billions of smartphone owners, including those without banking access, to transacting in cryptocurrency.

The network also allows for the creation of smart contracts and decentralized applications (DApps) as part of decentralized finance (DeFi). Its mainnet was launched in April 2020.

The platform has two native tokens. CELO is a proof-of-stake (PoS) token used for transaction fees, governance participation and related activities. In future, the platform aims to host various stablecoins, with one, the Celo Dollar (CUSD), already in use.
