Layer 1 Platforms; A Framework for Comparison

The Block Research was commissioned by Algorand and the Algorand Foundation to create Layer-1 Platforms: A Framework for comparison, which provides a “look under the hood” at seven platforms: Algorand, Avalanche, Binance Smart Chain, Cosmos, Ethereum/Ethereum 2.0, Polkadot, and Solana. We assess their technical design, related ecosystem data, and qualitative factors such as key ecosystem members to get an understanding of how they differ. Having done this analysis, we draw some insights for what the future of the broader smart contract landscape could look like for years to come.  

From explaining consensus algorithms in plain english to opining on the blockchain energy consumption debate to analyzing on-chain metrics, we cover a lot of ground in this report. Data, and lots of it, guides the way. 

You can learn more about the report and complete the form below to download the report in its entirety.
