About Bitcoin Gold
BTG is a cryptocurrency with Bitcoin fundamentals, mined on common GPUs instead of specialty ASICs. ASICs tend to monopolize mining to a few big players, but GPU mining means anyone can mine again - restoring decentralization and independence. GPU mining rewards go to individuals worldwide, instead of mostly to ASIC warehouse owners, recreating network effects that Bitcoin used to have. Bitcoin Gold is extended by Lighting Network, which scales to route nearly limitless payments per second. This is an example of a "second layer" solution living atop the main blockchain. Second layers and side chains enable technologies like smart contracts which can run at blazing speeds, secured by the underlying BTG mainchain. BTG enhances and extends the crypto space with a blockchain closely compatible with Bitcoin (with SegWit and Lightning Network) but without using resources like Bitcoin hashpower or vying for the "real Bitcoin" title.

Wire Network
Wire has a large developer pool, simple registration, and allocated resources for business workflows. Wire offers bridgeless cross-chain interoperability. Up to 112,000 transactions per second with 500 millisecond block times. Network expansion is based on user growth, with room for the internet. Wire is a public chain built on open-source software with public governance. Wire Network uses a novel Appointed Proof of Stake (APoS) model, an evolution beyond Delegated Proof of Stake. It further incorporates the Universal Polymorphic Address Protocol (UPAP), which when paired with name service smart contracts on each layer-1 blockchain can enhance interoperability across different blockchains akin to how HTTP standardized internet communication. Wire Network represents a paradigm shift in blockchain technology, offering partition-resistant networking, serverless computing, and distributed storage within a trustless computing environment.

Everscale
Everscale's architecture demonstrates that when software algorithms are implemented alongside a blockchain's infrastructure, the software itself ceases to be a performance bottleneck, thereby allowing transaction throughput to scale in direct proportion to network bandwidth. As such, Everscale’s architecture satisfies the three fundamental properties of a blockchain, scalability, security and decentralization. At Everscale we are demonstrating that distributed systems research is applicable to blockchain. Furthermore, and much to our surprise, it can be implemented using a mechanism that has been part of Bitcoin since day one which can be used to postdate transactions using block height instead of a timestamp. To achieve high network performance, you need reliable servers with fast connections. At the same time, in order to achieve sufficient decentralization, these servers should be owned by as many owners as possible.
