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.
Solana combines Proof‑of‑History, Turbine block propagation and Gulf Stream forwarding to achieve throughput exceeding 50 000 TPS with 400 ms block times. The 2024 Firedancer client written in C++ reduced validator CPU requirements and added parallel pipeline execution. Solana Pay and the Saga phone SDK illustrate the project’s push toward consumer‑grade web3 applications.
