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.
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.
