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.
Unichain is an OP‑Stack Layer‑2 built by Uniswap Labs that employs a trusted‑execution‑environment (TEE) block builder to guarantee ordered execution free from MEV. Liquidity pools enjoy baked‑in sandwich protection, and the UNI token governs sequencer whitelists. The chain inherited native hooks from upcoming Uniswap V4, enabling dynamic fee models.
