20
LEADING PROTOCOLS.
MANY MORE TO COME.

Celo is a mobile-first platform
that empowers anyone with a smartphone
anywhere in the world to have access
to financial services, send money to phone
numbers, and pay merchants.

CertiK Chain is Delegated Proof-of-Stake(DPOS)
blockchain built to enhance the security
of smart contracts, leveraging the CertiK
Foundation’s unique Formal
Verification platform at its core.
It aims to act as the basis where blockchain
infrastructure and decentralized applications
can be built securely.

Cosmos is a decentralized network of
independent parallel blockchains,
each powered by BFT consensus algorithms
like Tendermint consensus.
In other words, Cosmos is an ecosystem of
blockchains that can scale and interoperate
with each other.

Ethereum is an open-source, decentralized
blockchain computing platform for smart
contracts and decentralized applications.
Ethereum 2.0, also known as Serenity,
refers to its PoS (Proof of Stake) transition.
Ethereum 2.0 is planned to be more scalable,
secure, and sustainable with sharding.

Flow is a blockchain built for the
next generation of apps, games,
and the digital assets that support them.
It is fast, distributed, and developer-friendly,
using a multi-role architecture design to solve
the scalability problem without sharding.

Kusama is a canary network for Polkadot.
It is technologically identical to Polkadot,
but has more open and fast governance.
As Kusama offers developers advantages of
high speed and low economic barriers through
open governance, it's an experimental
development environment for teams
who want to move fast and innovate on Kusama,
or prepare for deployment on Polkadot.

Lido is a Liquid staking platform
for Ethereum 2.0, Solana & Terra.
It allows users to earn staking rewards
without locking assets or maintaining staking
infrastructure regardless of the amount.

Mina aims to be the
"world's lightest blockchain."
Mina constructed recursively composed
succinct non-interactive arguments of
knowledge (snarks) to stay its size as 22kb,
no matter how many blocks are stacked
in the blockchain.

NEAR is a decentralized development
platform, which is a public, sharded,
developer-friendly, proof-of-stake blockchain.
NEAR is like a public community-run cloud
platform which is a highly scalable and
low-cost platform for developers to create
decentralized apps on top of.

Osmosis is an advanced automated
market maker(AMM) protocol built with the
Cosmos SDK that will allow developers to design,
build, and deploy their own customized AMMs
with multiple tokens and parameters.
Osmosis is not hard-coded AMM, but aims to be
flexible and adjustable AMM that reflects market
changes through stakeholders' governance.

Persistence is building an ecosystem of
financial products, focusing on both
institutional and crypto-native use cases.
Persistence aims to effectively bridge
TradFi and DeFi by facilitating borrowing
of Crypto Assets using real-world
assets as collateral.

Polkadot is a scalable heterogeneous
multi-chain allowing pooled security and
trust-free interchain transactability.
Polkadot itself doesn't provide inherent
application functionality. Rather, It provides the
bedrock “relay-chain” upon which a large
number of validatable and globally coherent
dynamic data structures, which are called
parachains, can be hosted side-by-side.

Polygon(previously Matic) is designed
as a platform and a framework to build
and connect Ethereum-compatible
blockchain networks.
Polygon supports Ethereum to be scalable
with L2 solutions such as plasma,
optimsm rollups, zk rollups, validium,
and sidechains.

Solana is a fast, secure, and permissionless
blockchain providing an open infrastructure with
scalability. By addressing scalability problems
with Proof of History, Solana enables
decentralized applications such as decentralized
exchanges and payments which need high
throughput to operate seamlessly.

Terra is a price-stable cryptocurrency
that will power the next-generation payment
network and grow the real GDP of the
blockchain economy.

Tezos is an open-source platform for assets and
applications that can evolve by upgrading itself.
Stakeholders govern upgrades to the
core protocol, including upgrades to the
amendment process itself.

The Graph is a decentralized protocol for
indexing and querying data from blockchains.
Applications use GraphQL to query open APIs
called subgraphs, to retrieve data that is
indexed on the network. With The Graph,
developers can build serverless applications
that run entirely on public infrastructure.

Tokamak network is built to solve the current
constraints of the Ethereum blockchain including
scalability, high transaction fees, lack of
functionality, and privacy. It allows anyone to
easily create a plasma chain that fully supports
EVM and is 100% compatible with Ethereum
smart contracts.
