Supra is a high-performance blockchain platform designed to enable the development of "Super dApps" with its unique combination of extreme throughput, multiVM compatibility, and native oracle services. Built on Supra L1, the platform offers developers the flexibility to create composable ecosystems using custom governance, tokens, and fee markets, all while benefiting from industry-leading scalability with 500,000 transactions per second (TPS). Supra L1 also supports multiple programming languages, including EVM, MoveVM, and SolanaVM, making it ideal for a diverse range of applications. By offering native oracle data, VRF, cross-chain communication, and automated execution, Supra provides developers with all the tools needed to build fast, secure, and interconnected decentralized applications.

Cardano is a blockchain platform for changemakers, innovators, and visionaries, with the tools and technologies required to create possibility for the many, as well as the few, and bring about positive global change. Cardano is a proof-of-stake blockchain platform: the first to be founded on peer-reviewed research and developed through evidence-based methods. It combines pioneering technologies to provide unparalleled security and sustainability to decentralized applications, systems, and societies. With a leading team of engineers, Cardano exists to redistribute power from unaccountable structures to the margins – to individuals – and be an enabling force for positive change and progress. Cardano restores trust to global systems – creating, through science, a more secure, transparent, and sustainable foundation for individuals to transact and exchange, systems to govern, and enterprises to grow.

The Internet of Blockchains. Cosmos is an ever-expanding ecosystem of interconnected apps and services, built for a decentralized future. Enter a new universe of connected services. Cosmos apps and services connect using IBC, the Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol. This innovation enables you to freely exchange assets and data across sovereign decentralized blockchains. Serving as the economic center of Cosmos, the Cosmos Hub is a blockchain that provides vital services to the Interchain. Set to operate a next-gen decentralized exchange, swapping digital assets from across the Interchain, with very low fees and instant transaction confirmation. With the upcoming Interchain Staking feature, ATOM will soon be securing many chains, in exchange for additional staking rewards. A core mission of the Hub – to connect chains by establishing IBC connections with compatible chains and operating decentralized bridges with chains like Ethereum and Bitcoin.

Harmony is an open and fast blockchain. Our mainnet runs Ethereum applications with 2-second transaction finality and 100 times lower fees. Harmony’s secure bridges offer cross-chain asset transfers with Ethereum, Binance and other chains. Harmony serves as a platform for creators to connect with their community. Harmony’s bridges can connect any Proof-of-Work and Proof-of-Stake chains. Our FlyClient architecture are fully trustless and highly gas-efficient. Currently, our bridges for Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain secure tens of millions cross-chain assets. Developers simply change Chain ID and enjoy faster EVM executions identical at the bytecode level. They can use their familiar and standard Web3 tooling to easily migrate to Harmony. What about users? They can continue to use MetaMask or Ledger — but now pay minimal fees. Any Ethereum wallets or portals can work on Harmony without code changes or new installs.

A new blockchain and smart transaction platform that is easier to use, more efficient, and secure. We believe that cryptocurrency should be easier to use than cash, harder to lose, and nearly impossible to steal. Anyone who wants to validate transactions should be able to farm without single-use hardware or a big electricity bill. Chia Network develops a blockchain and smart transaction platform created by the inventor of BitTorrent, Bram Cohen. It implements the first new Nakamoto consensus algorithm since Bitcoin in 2008. Proofs of Space and Time replace energy intensive “proofs of work.” Chialisp is Chia’s new on chain programming language that is powerful, easy to audit, and secure. It will make cryptocurrency easier to use than cash. Reference smart transactions currently available are: Colored coins, rate-limited wallets, and distributed identity wallets.

Highly decentralized blockchain development platform; built to enable Microsoft developers to develop blockchain solutions in a language they know and love. Stratis provides a feature-rich ecosystem with tooling and Software-Development-Kits that allow solutions to be built with confidence and assurance thanks to the mature underlying framework. Decentralized, highly secure, and energy-efficient, the Stratis Platform presents the ideal platform to deploy your blockchain project. Stratis’ architecture is based upon Bitcoin, the most secure blockchain to date; combined with Stratis’ implementation of Proof-of-Stake the blockchain produces a low carbon footprint thanks to energy-efficient block production. The Stratis Platform provides a feature-rich toolset, lowering the barrier to entry for new developers learning blockchain concepts with code examples and reference implementations.
