Darwinia vs Etherlink

Darwinia is pioneering the development of cutting-edge cross-chain service solutions, with a strategic emphasis on boosting the cross-chain functionalities of decentralized applications. At its core, the Darwinia Chains represents an EVM-compliant network built upon the Polkadot framework. It has been designed to integrate seamlessly with various bridge tools, such as the Helix Bridge and the Msgport protocol. This integration facilitates the connection between assets within the Polkadot ecosystem and the wider array of EVM chains present in the Ethereum ecosystem.

Etherlink is an EVM-compatible, non-custodial Layer 2 blockchain powered by Tezos Smart Rollup technology. It enables seamless integration with existing Ethereum tools, including wallets and indexers, and facilitates asset transfers to and from other EVM-compatible chains. Built upon the secure foundation of Tezos layer 1, Etherlink delivers a fast, fair, and (nearly) free experience. This permissionless and censorship-resistant environment empowers developers to actively create and participate in the next generation of decentralized applications.
