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.
TRON runs delegated proof‑of‑stake with 27 Super Representatives producing blocks every 3 seconds, making it popular for stablecoin settlement. Its Sun Network sidechains scale contract capacity, while BitTorrent Chain bridges assets to Ethereum and BSC. The 2024 GreatVoyage hard fork implemented Stake 1.0, allowing flexible resource delegation.
