NEAR Protocol employs Nightshade sharding where each block contains chunks from multiple shards, and Doomslug consensus gives 1‑second near‑finality. The JavaScript SDK and Contract Aurora EVM make onboarding Web2 developers easier. In 2024 NEAR launched a chain‑signature wallet standard that leverages passkeys for seedless login.
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.
