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.

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.

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.

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.

HederaIntermediateHashgraph has no block producer. Nodes gossip events that record who heard what, then compute the order and median timestamps locally through virtual voting, giving aBFT finality in seconds and fair ordering.

TezosBeginnerTezos bakers vote on protocol upgrades on-chain, weighted by stake, through proposal, exploration, cooldown, promotion and adoption periods. Once approved, every node switches automatically, so the chain doesn't split.

FilecoinIntermediateProviders seal data into sectors, prove it once with PoRep and then daily with WindowPoSt, backed by slashable FIL collateral. Proofs cover storage, not retrieval; use an onramp unless you have large data and DataCap.

GeneralIntermediateOn Bitcoin, scale confirmation depth with the amount at risk, since finality is probabilistic. On Ethereum, wait for the finalized checkpoint. On rollups, wait for the batch to be final on L1.

BitcoinBeginnerMiners hash an 80-byte block header until its double SHA-256 falls below a target. Difficulty retargets every 2016 blocks, and nodes follow the chain with the most cumulative work.
