About Blockchains
About Blockchains
Polkadot stands out among other blockchain projects for its focus on enhancing the foundational infrastructure of dApps. It aims to enable interoperability between blockchain ecosystems, facilitating seamless communication without intermediaries. Functioning as a "network of networks," Polkadot utilizes parachains — specialized blockchains with unique functionalities and tokens — to enable interaction between diverse blockchain architectures. Powered by the nominated proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus algorithm and drawing inspiration from the Ouroboros protocol, Polkadot offers a robust framework for building interconnected and scalable decentralized systems.
About Blockchains
aelf is primarily a multi-chain parallel computing blockchain network which was created to address several of the limitations of traditional blockchain systems, such as performance bottlenecks and data complexity. aelf's vision is to be a 'Linux Ecosystem' equivalent for a blockchain that incorporates state-of-the-art IT design principles, which in particular allows developers to customise Chains to meet their own needs.
