About Blockchains
About Waterfall
Waterfall is a highly scalable and decentralized BlockDAG EVM-compatible Layer 1 protocol. Low transaction fees and EVM compatibility make Waterfall the platform of choice for Dapps.
About Polkadot
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.
