Solana combines Proof‑of‑History, Turbine block propagation and Gulf Stream forwarding to achieve throughput exceeding 50 000 TPS with 400 ms block times. The 2024 Firedancer client written in C++ reduced validator CPU requirements and added parallel pipeline execution. Solana Pay and the Saga phone SDK illustrate the project’s push toward consumer‑grade web3 applications.
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.
