Polygon PoS combines Plasma checkpoints with a Proof‑of‑Stake validator set, supplying low‑fee EVM smart contracts. The Polygon 2.0 roadmap introduces Aggregation Layer and.zk‑powered chains (CDK) that will share a unified POL staking token. Partnerships with Starbucks Odyssey and DraftKings underline its consumer‑brand strategy.
Sonic is an ultra‑fast EVM Layer‑1 claimed to reach 400k TPS and sub‑second finality via a custom SonicVM and DAG‑based consensus dubbed Tempo. Blocks are final once two‑thirds of stake attest, and state is stored in an in‑memory ledger that snapshots to disk every epoch. The project focuses on GameFi and real‑time social dApps, with an incentive testnet launched in May 2025.
