The Bitcoin blockchain is the first blockchain that was created and it serves as the backbone of the Bitcoin network.

Ethereum is a technology that's home to digital money, global payments, and applications. The community has built a booming digital economy, bold new ways for creators to earn online, and so much more. It's open to everyone, wherever you are in the world – all you need is the internet.

With over 1.3 billion transactions recorded, 130 million unique wallets and ~2.7 million monthly active users, Polygon Proof of Stake (POS) is the most proven scaling solution in web3, and the best way to launch a web3 project that's ready for a global audience.

BNB Smart Chain (BSC) is best described as a blockchain that runs in parallel to the Binance Chain, boasting smart contract functionality and compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). The design goal here was to leave the high throughput of Binance Chain intact while introducing smart contracts into its ecosystem.

Avalanche is an open-source platform for launching decentralized applications and enterprise blockchain deployments in one interoperable, highly scalable ecosystem. Avalanche is the first smart contracts platform that processes 4,500+ transactions/second and instantly confirms transactions. Ethereum developers can quickly build on Avalanche as Solidity works out-of-the-box.  A key difference between Avalanche and other decentralized networks is the consensus protocol. Over time, people have come to a false understanding that blockchains have to be slow and not scalable. The Avalanche protocol employs a novel approach to consensus to achieve its strong safety guarantees, quick finality, and high-throughput, without compromising decentralization.

The Shiden Network is a scalable and interoperable infrastructure for Web3.0. Since the Shiden Network is built with Parity’s Substrate framework, it can be a future Kusama parachain that also acts as a scalable smart contract platform. The Kusama Relaychain, by design, does not support smart contracts. This allows the Shiden Network the opportunity to fill in this gap. Scalability is obviously one of the most crucial demands dApp developers have. Ideally, the developers can build whatever applications on the Shiden Network without having to consider its scalability. The Shiden Network is built on the Kusama parent chain.
