Stellar is a payments‑focused blockchain that uses the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP), a federated Byzantine agreement where each node chooses its own quorum slices. Anchors issue fiat‑backed tokens, and Stellar’s built‑in DEX offers path payments that can hop through multiple assets in a single transaction. The 2023 Soroban upgrade added WebAssembly smart contracts, enabling on‑chain AMMs, lending and other DeFi primitives.
Tezos is a self‑amending Proof‑of‑Stake Layer‑1 that supports on‑chain governance, letting token holders adopt protocol upgrades without hard forks. Its latest ‘Mumbai’ upgrade activated Smart Rollups, allowing scalable L2s written in Rust and Wasm to inherit Tezos security. Tezos processes ~1 million contract calls daily and is popular for compliant tokenisation of securities in Europe.
