Bitcoin CashBeginnerBCH forked in August 2017 to scale with bigger blocks instead of SegWit. Today it has a 32 MB adaptive limit, native CashTokens, CashAddr addresses, no SegWit or RBF, low fees and far less hashrate than BTC.

MonadAdvancedMonad runs transactions optimistically in parallel and re-executes conflicts while committing in order, executes after consensus instead of during it, and uses MonadDb for parallel state reads. Gas is charged on the limit.

SolanaIntermediateThe priority fee is CU limit × CU price in micro-lamports, on top of 5,000 lamports per signature. Simulate to size the limit, price from recent fees on the accounts you write, and never request 1.4M by default.

KaspaIntermediateEach Kaspa block references every tip it sees, so parallel blocks are merged, not orphaned. GHOSTDAG colours well-connected blocks blue and orders the DAG, supporting 10 PoW blocks per second since Crescendo.

CelestiaIntermediateA DA layer guarantees rollup data was published. Celestia erasure-codes blocks into a 2D square, so light nodes sampling a few random shares catch withholding; fraud proofs catch bad encoding.
#cryptography#nodes#scaling
BitcoinIntermediateOrdinals number every sat and track it first-in-first-out; inscriptions put files in Taproot witness data on a sat; Runes are UTXO-based tokens in OP_RETURN. Indexers, not nodes, interpret all of them.

HyperliquidIntermediateHyperliquid builds the exchange into the chain: HyperCore runs order books, margin, liquidations and the HLP vault as native logic under HotStuff-style HyperBFT, with HyperEVM alongside under the same consensus.

GeneralBeginnerKeep a small hot wallet for operations and hold the treasury behind several hardware-backed keys, held by different people, through multisig or MPC, with spend policies, transaction simulation and a tested recovery plan.

StacksIntermediateStacks miners spend BTC that goes to STX stackers, Clarity contracts can read Bitcoin state, and Nakamoto added fast blocks with Bitcoin finality. sBTC is a 1:1 BTC-backed token secured by a threshold signer set.

DogecoinIntermediateLitecoin miners commit a Dogecoin block hash in their coinbase, so any Scrypt hash below Dogecoin's easier target counts as AuxPoW. Dogecoin gets Litecoin's hashrate but also shares its pools and risks.

ArweaveBeginnerYou pay once into an endowment sized for about 200 years of storage, betting on falling disk costs, and mining requires holding data. Prices move with AR, most uploads go through bundlers, and nothing can be deleted.
