Ethereum is the leading smart‑contract platform, now running Proof‑of‑Stake after the 2022 ‘Merge’ and gearing up for full Danksharding. Proto‑danksharding (EIP‑4844) activated blob transactions in March 2024, slashing rollup data costs by > 90 %. The upcoming Pectra upgrade will pair Verkle trees with wallet abstraction (EIP‑4337) to simplify UX.
THORChain is a Tendermint‑based cross‑chain liquidity protocol where nodes bond RUNE to secure pools of native L1 assets like BTC, ETH and ATOM. Swaps execute via continuous liquidity pools with slip‑based fees, and the ‘Streaming Swaps’ feature splits large orders to minimize price impact. The 2023 mainnet added Savers vaults, letting depositors earn single‑asset yield without IL exposure.
