Core is an EVM Layer‑1 that merges delegated proof‑of‑stake voting with hash power from Bitcoin miners through the Satoshi Plus consensus. Validators bond CORE and lease BTC hash via a smart‑contract marketplace, aligning incentives between miners and token holders. The chain offers a native bridge to Bitcoin enabling one‑step transfers of cbBTC and supports Solidity smart contracts.
Cardano uses the Ouroboros Proof‑of‑Stake protocol and an Extended‑UTxO ledger that enables deterministic smart contracts in Plutus and Aiken. Its ‘Basho’ scaling era introduced Hydra Head sidechains capable of 1000 TPS per head, and Mithril light‑client proofs for mobile wallets. Over 1 500 stake pools secure the network and participate in on‑chain treasury governance.
