Plasma is built around a very simple but often ignored idea: if stablecoins are already being used like real money, then the blockchain underneath them should actually be designed for that job. Most chains weren’t. They were built for experimentation, smart contracts, and complexity first, and stablecoins were added later as just another token. Plasma flips that order. It’s a Layer 1 blockchain that treats stablecoins as the main use case, not a side feature. The goal is to make sending and using stablecoins feel natural — fast, predictable, and frictionless — especially for people who rely on them daily. Plasma is fully EVM-compatible, so developers can use familiar Ethereum tools and smart contracts, but under the hood it’s optimized for payments. It uses its own fast BFT-style consensus to reach near-instant finality, which matters a lot when money is moving and people don’t want to wait or guess if a transaction is “probably” done. One of Plasma’s biggest UX improvements is gasless USDT transfers: for simple transfers, users don’t need to hold a native token or think about gas at all. That friction is handled at the protocol level in a controlled way, while more complex contract interactions still pay fees so the network stays sustainable. Plasma also pushes the idea of stablecoin-first gas, meaning users can pay fees in stablecoins instead of being forced into volatile assets just to use the chain. Over the long term, Plasma wants to anchor its security and neutrality to Bitcoin, combining Bitcoin’s credibility with programmable settlement and stablecoin-native design, although parts of that vision are still being built. The native token, XPL, exists to secure the network, incentivize validators, and power advanced activity — not to replace stablecoins for everyday payments. Plasma’s broader ambition is to become quiet infrastructure for real-world finance: remittances, peer-to-peer transfers, merchant payments, institutional settlement, and passive stablecoin yield. It’s not trying to win hype cycles or be everything at once. It’s trying to make stablecoins finally feel like what people already use them as — money that just works.

Walrus is one of those projects that makes a lot more sense when you stop thinking like a trader and start thinking like a product builder. At its heart, Walrus is about a very simple problem: blockchains are great at logic and ownership, but terrible at storing big files. Images, videos, game assets, AI datasets, website files — all the things real apps need — don’t belong inside a blockchain. Walrus exists to handle that missing piece by acting as a decentralized storage layer that works hand-in-hand with Sui, rather than trying to replace it.
The way Walrus approaches storage is practical instead of flashy. When a file is uploaded, it isn’t copied endlessly or stored on a single machine. Instead, the file is broken into many smaller coded pieces and spread across a network of independent storage nodes. Because of how the math works behind the scenes, the original file can still be reconstructed even if a large number of those nodes go offline. This means users and applications aren’t trusting one server or one company — they’re trusting the structure of the network itself. Sui acts as the coordination layer, keeping track of storage commitments, rules, and payments, while Walrus focuses on reliably holding and serving the data.
The WAL token exists to keep this system honest and sustainable. Storage providers stake WAL to participate in the network, users pay WAL to store data, and rewards are distributed to nodes that do their job correctly. In simple terms, WAL turns storage into an economy instead of a favor. Without incentives, decentralized storage doesn’t work long term. With incentives, you get nodes that care about uptime, availability, and reliability, because their capital is on the line.
Where Walrus really starts to shine is in real-world usage. NFTs depend on images and metadata staying online. Games need huge libraries of assets. AI applications rely on massive datasets that must be accessible at all times. Even something as basic as hosting a website becomes more meaningful when the files aren’t sitting on a single cloud server. Walrus is designed for exactly these kinds of data-heavy use cases, making it easier for developers to build apps that feel modern without quietly falling back on centralized infrastructure.
That said, Walrus isn’t magic and it isn’t risk-free. Decentralized storage is a competitive space, and long-term success depends on real adoption, not just good engineering. The economics need to stay balanced so providers remain incentivized without over-inflating the token, and the system’s technical complexity has to hold up under real-world pressure. Privacy also depends heavily on how applications use the storage layer, since encryption usually happens at the app level, not automatically.
In the end, Walrus feels less like a hype project and more like plumbing — and that’s a compliment. If Web3 apps are ever going to feel as smooth, media-rich, and reliable as Web2 apps, someone has to solve decentralized storage properly. Walrus is taking a serious, grounded shot at that problem, and if it succeeds, it may end up being one of those pieces of infrastructure people rely on every day without even thinking about it.

Vanar is a Layer 1 blockchain built with a very simple idea in mind: if blockchain is ever going to reach everyday people, it has to feel natural, invisible, and easy to use. Instead of focusing on complex DeFi mechanics or hardcore crypto-native tools, Vanar is designed around real consumer experiences like gaming, entertainment, digital worlds, brand engagement, AI-powered applications, and sustainable initiatives. The team behind Vanar comes from backgrounds in games, media, and brands, and that influence shows clearly in the way the network is structured. Vanar aims to support applications that people actually enjoy using, where users don’t need to understand wallets, gas fees, or blockchain jargon to participate. At a technical level, Vanar operates as an independent Layer 1 network with its own validators and infrastructure, while remaining developer-friendly and practical for building consumer-facing apps. A major focus is keeping transactions fast and fees predictable, which is critical for games and mainstream applications where users expect smooth, low-cost interactions. The network also incorporates AI-driven and automation-focused tools intended to help applications manage data, personalize experiences, and scale more efficiently, positioning Vanar as more than just a blockchain, but as a broader product and infrastructure ecosystem. The VANRY token sits at the center of everything, powering transactions, staking, network security, and ecosystem incentives, while also enabling rewards and engagement mechanics across games, digital experiences, and brand campaigns. Vanar’s ecosystem includes well-known initiatives like Virtua Metaverse and VGN games network, reinforcing its strong focus on interactive digital environments rather than purely financial products. Real-world use cases for Vanar include blockchain-powered games where players truly own their assets, loyalty and reward systems that brands can use without friction, digital collectibles and fan experiences, creator communities with direct incentives, and consumer apps that quietly use blockchain in the background without exposing complexity to the user. Partnerships and integrations play a key role in Vanar’s growth strategy, especially in payments, infrastructure, and consumer distribution, because real adoption depends more on users and products than on raw technical metrics. The project’s roadmap centers on expanding its AI tooling, strengthening developer support, growing its product ecosystem, and onboarding users through practical applications rather than hype-driven launches. Vanar’s growth potential lies in becoming a go-to blockchain for consumer and entertainment-focused applications, where usage naturally drives demand for VANRY instead of speculation alone. Its strengths include a clear consumer-first vision, a focused ecosystem strategy, straightforward token utility, and a strong emphasis on user experience, while its main challenges involve execution, competition from other Layer 1s, maintaining decentralization while ensuring stability, and delivering on ambitious AI and product goals. In the end, Vanar is best understood not as a blockchain trying to impress crypto insiders, but as a platform trying to make Web3 feel normal — a quiet backend powering games, brands, and digital experiences that people actually want to use, without needing to think about the technology behind it.

Founded in 2018, Dusk Network is a Layer 1 blockchain built for a problem most crypto projects quietly avoid: how to put real, regulated financial activity on-chain without exposing everything to the public or ignoring compliance. At its core, Dusk is financial infrastructure, not a hype-driven general-purpose chain, and it’s designed for markets where privacy, accountability, and certainty all matter at the same time. Traditional finance runs on sensitive information like positions, counterparties, and settlement details, and fully transparent blockchains simply don’t work for that world, while fully private systems make regulators uneasy; Dusk sits in the middle by offering selective privacy, where transactions can be confidential when needed but still verifiable and auditable by authorized parties. It achieves this through a modular architecture that separates settlement, execution, and privacy logic, allowing the network to deliver fast, deterministic finality while staying flexible enough for institutional needs. Dusk supports both transparent and obfuscated transactions, letting applications choose the right level of visibility instead of forcing a one-size-fits-all model, and it combines advanced cryptography like zero-knowledge proofs with compliance-aware design so privacy doesn’t come at the cost of trust. For developers, Dusk lowers the barrier to entry through EVM compatibility, meaning familiar Ethereum tools can be used while benefiting from Dusk’s privacy-first settlement layer. The DUSK token plays a straightforward role in this system, with a capped supply of one billion tokens used for staking, securing the network, paying fees, and incentivizing validators over the long term. Rather than chasing every possible use case, Dusk focuses on areas like tokenized securities, regulated DeFi, institutional payments, and compliant market infrastructure, and its ecosystem reflects that focus through partnerships with regulated exchanges, custody providers, and financial infrastructure players, particularly in Europe. The roadmap emphasizes steady progress over speed, prioritizing security, regulatory alignment, and core infrastructure improvements instead of rushing features, which can make growth feel slower but also more durable. The upside for Dusk is tied less to retail hype cycles and more to the long-term shift toward tokenized real-world assets and on-chain financial markets, while the risks lie in slow institutional adoption, regulatory uncertainty, and the technical complexity of balancing privacy with compliance. Overall, Dusk feels like a project built with a clear understanding that finance isn’t just about code or decentralization in theory, but about trust, rules, and responsibility, and if blockchain is going to underpin real markets in the future, infrastructure like Dusk may end up being far more important than it looks today.

Walrus (WAL) zasadniczo stara się rozwiązać jeden z największych „cichych problemów” Web3: wiele aplikacji twierdzi, że jest zdecentralizowanych, ale rzeczywista zawartość, na której te aplikacje polegają—obrazy, filmy, pliki gier, zbiory danych, załączniki i metadane—często nadal znajduje się na zwykłych serwerach chmurowych. Jeśli ten serwer przestaje działać, zostaje ocenzurowany lub zmienia polityki, doświadczenie „zdecentralizowane” może szybko się załamać. Walrus został zbudowany jako zdecentralizowana sieć przechowywania blobów zaprojektowana do dużych plików i łączy się z ekosystemem Sui, wykorzystując Sui do koordynacji i zarządzania, dzięki czemu aplikacje mogą przechowywać ciężkie dane poza łańcuchem, zachowując jednocześnie ich weryfikowalność i odporność na kontrolę z jednego punktu.

Sieć Dusk to blockchain warstwy pierwszej zbudowany z bardzo konkretnym celem: sprawić, aby technologia blockchain miała sens w regulowanej finansach. Większość łańcuchów jest albo w pełni publiczna (co ujawnia zbyt wiele informacji dla prawdziwych rynków), albo w pełni prywatna (co zabija kompozycyjność i korzyści otwartego ekosystemu). Dusk próbuje obrać środkową drogę - prywatność z założenia, ale nadal zaprojektowany tak, aby odpowiednie strony mogły weryfikować, audytować i udowadniać zgodność, gdy zajdzie taka potrzeba. Innymi słowy, to nie jest „prywatność, aby się ukryć”, to „prywatność w taki sposób, w jaki działają już systemy finansowe”, gdzie wrażliwe szczegóły pozostają poufne, chyba że istnieje uzasadniony powód, aby je ujawnić.

Vanar Chain to blockchain warstwy 1 zbudowany z jednym jasnym celem: sprawić, aby Web3 wydawał się na tyle normalny, że codzienni ludzie będą mogli go faktycznie używać. Zamiast projektować najpierw dla hardcore'owych użytkowników kryptowalut, Vanar został zaprojektowany z myślą o adopcji w rzeczywistym świecie, zwłaszcza w obszarach, w których miliony (lub miliardy) użytkowników już spędzają czas — gry, rozrywka, marki i cyfrowe doświadczenia skierowane do konsumentów. Tło zespołu w tych branżach widać w sposobie, w jaki Vanar pozycjonuje się: nie tylko jako łańcuch do eksperymentowania dla deweloperów, ale jako pełny ekosystem mający na celu wprowadzenie następnej fali głównych użytkowników bez zmuszania ich do nauki „rytuałów kryptograficznych”, takich jak mostkowanie, lęk przed portfelem czy mylące mechanizmy opłat. Token zasilający sieć to VANRY, a szerszy ekosystem Vanar obejmuje znane produkty, takie jak Virtua Metaverse i sieć gier VGN, które działają jak rzeczywiste kanały do onboardingu użytkowników i aktywności, a nie czysto teoretyczne „przypadki użycia w przyszłości.”

Plasma to blockchain warstwy 1, zbudowany wokół jednej bardzo praktycznej idei: stablecoiny są już używane jak prawdziwe pieniądze, więc sieć rozliczeniowa powinna być zaprojektowana najpierw dla stablecoinów, zamiast traktować je jak kolejny token. Większość łańcuchów mówi, że są „zbudowane dla adopcji”, ale w momencie, gdy zwykły użytkownik próbuje wysłać USDT, napotyka na te same irytujące przeszkody—potrzebując oddzielnej monety gazowej, zmagając się z mylącymi mechanikami opłat, czekając dłużej niż powinno trwać płatność, lub obserwując nagłe skoki opłat w niewłaściwym czasie. Plasma stara się usunąć te punkty bólu na poziomie protokołu, aby płatności stablecoinami były bliższe doświadczeniom fintechowym: otwórz portfel, wyślij dolary, gotowe. Utrzymuje to znajomość dla deweloperów, będąc w pełni kompatybilnym z EVM, wykorzystując środowisko wykonawcze w stylu Ethereum (często opisywane jako oparte na Reth), więc aplikacje Solidity i narzędzia Ethereum mogą być przenoszone bez potrzeby odbudowywania od podstaw przez zespoły. Po stronie rozliczeniowej Plasma jest zaprojektowana dla finalności poniżej sekundy, wykorzystując konsensus w stylu BFT (PlasmaBFT), co ma znaczenie, ponieważ płatności nie tylko potrzebują szybkości—potrzebują pewności. Kiedy płacisz osobie lub firmie, „prawdopodobnie wkrótce finalizowane” nie jest wystarczające; chcesz czystego, deterministycznego „potwierdzonego”.

Plasma is basically a Layer 1 built with one very specific obsession: making stablecoins especially “digital dollars”bmove in a way that feels effortless. Instead of trying to be a chain for every possible narrative, Plasma leans hard into stablecoin settlement as its core purpose. The big idea is that stablecoins already have real demand in the real world people use them for cross-border transfers, remittances, payouts, trading settlement, and saving in a more stable unit of account but the user experience still often feels like “crypto UX,” where you need a separate gas token, fees can be confusing, and confirmations can be inconsistent. Plasma wants to remove that friction so stablecoin transfers feel closer to sending money in a normal app: fast, predictable, and simple.
Under the hood, Plasma combines a few key ingredients to support that vision. On the consensus side, it uses PlasmaBFT, designed to push toward very fast finality so payments don’t feel like they’re stuck in limbo. In payments, speed isn’t just a flex it’s trust, because merchants and users want confidence that a transfer is truly final. On the execution side, Plasma is EVM compatible and built around a Reth-based execution layer, which means developers can build with familiar Ethereum tools and patterns instead of learning a brand-new stack. That matters because payments ecosystems don’t grow from whitepapers; they grow from builders shipping wallets, payment flows, APIs, dashboards, merchant plugins, and all the boring infrastructure that makes money movement feel normal.
Where Plasma tries to feel genuinely different is in its stablecoin-native features. The chain is designed around “stablecoin-first” behavior, including ideas like gasless stablecoin transfers via a paymaster approach, and support for fee mechanics that don’t force users to hold a volatile network token just to send dollars. In simple terms, Plasma is aiming to eliminate the most common mainstream pain point: “Why do I need extra tokens just to use my money?” If stablecoin sends can be sponsored or paid in a way that feels natural, onboarding becomes dramatically easier especially in high-adoption markets where people care about outcomes, not crypto jargon.
Tokenomics-wise, Plasma has a native token, XPL, but it’s best understood as the chain’s security and coordination asset, not the “money” people are trying to use day to day. XPL’s role is tied to network security through staking/validation, and to the broader economic design that funds validators and supports ecosystem growth over time. Like most networks, Plasma’s long-term token story depends heavily on whether the chain attracts real usage and real apps, because the strongest token utility comes when the network becomes infrastructure people rely on, not just something people trade.
The ecosystem that fits Plasma naturally isn’t limited to DeFi though DeFi can exist on top of it—it’s more about practical stablecoin rails. Plasma makes the most sense for remittance corridors, cross-border business settlement, merchant payments with quick finality, payroll and contractor payouts across countries, creator or gig-economy payouts, and treasury movement for teams holding stablecoins as operating cash. If the chain is fast and user-friendly, wallets can abstract away complexity, merchants can accept stablecoin payments without worrying about long confirmation times, and businesses can settle invoices or send payouts without the friction of legacy banking rails. In that world, Plasma doesn’t need to become “the biggest DeFi chain” to win it just needs to become a reliable place where stablecoin value moves smoothly at scale.
Partnerships and integrations are going to matter more than hype for a project like this. A payments-focused chain lives or dies by distribution: wallets that integrate it, on/offramps that make it easy for normal users to enter and exit, payment gateways and merchant tools that reduce friction, liquidity partners that keep spreads tight, and infrastructure partners that help apps launch fast. The strongest signals won’t be flashy announcements; they’ll be consistent transaction volume from real payment flows, repeated usage, and apps that keep users coming back because the experience is simply easier.
Roadmap-wise, the growth path for a stablecoin settlement chain is usually layered and practical: ship a stable, fast base network; bootstrap liquidity and early integrations; expand validator participation and decentralization over time; strengthen bridging and settlement guarantees; broaden stablecoin support so the chain isn’t overly dependent on a single asset; and then add more advanced features like confidential transfers only if they can be done safely and responsibly. This sequencing matters because payments infrastructure has to be reliable first speed and UX are meaningless if security and stability aren’t there.
Plasma’s growth potential comes from one clear trend: stablecoins are steadily moving from being “a crypto tool” to becoming global money rails that people actually use for everyday financial activity. If that continues, chains optimized for stablecoin settlement have a strong reason to exist, and Plasma’s biggest edge is its focus on user experience especially removing the “gas token tax” that blocks mainstream adoption. That said, there are real risks to keep in mind. Gasless transfers and subsidized fees have to be economically sustainable and resistant to abuse, otherwise the network can get spammed or forced into changes that hurt UX. Any bridging especially toward Bitcoin-anchored security goals raises the stakes because bridges are historically a major security risk. Early decentralization and governance maturity also matter, because payments networks need trust, neutrality, and resilience, not just speed. And finally, competition is intense: lots of chains want payments, so Plasma will need execution, integrations, and real distribution to stand out.
If Plasma delivers on what it’s aiming for, the outcome is simple but powerful: stablecoins that behave like normal internet money fast, final, easy to use, and integrated into real products so people can send and receive digital dollars without thinking about blockchain mechanics at all. That’s the kind of “boring” success that actually changes adoption, because it doesn’t rely on hype; it relies on utility.

Walrus is built for a problem most crypto users don’t notice until they try to build something real: blockchains are great for ownership and rules, but they’re terrible for storing big files like images, videos, PDFs, game assets, website files, or AI datasets. Trying to push all that data directly onchain is slow and expensive, so most “decentralized” apps quietly rely on normal servers in the background—and that creates a weak point where content can disappear, get censored, or go offline. Walrus steps into that gap as a decentralized blob storage network, designed to keep large data available in a way that’s practical for real applications while still being verifiable and censorship-resistant, and it runs alongside Sui where Sui acts like the coordination brain (ownership, proofs, rules, and payments) while Walrus nodes do the heavy lifting of actually storing and serving the data. When you upload a file to Walrus, the protocol doesn’t just copy the whole thing onto one machine; it breaks the file into pieces, adds redundancy using erasure coding, and spreads those encoded pieces across many storage nodes so you don’t need every single piece to get your file back—only enough of them—meaning the network can tolerate nodes going offline without your data disappearing, which is exactly the kind of resilience you want in a decentralized system where machines and operators are constantly changing. Walrus also emphasizes verifiable availability, meaning applications can have stronger guarantees that a blob is actually stored and retrievable instead of relying on “trust me” storage, and this is where the Sui connection becomes powerful because storage can be treated like a programmable resource: apps can reference blobs, check availability, manage storage lifetimes, and build user experiences that don’t collapse when one hosting provider fails. The WAL token powers this whole economy in a way that’s meant to be more than just a ticker: WAL is used to pay for storage, it supports delegated staking so storage operators can be selected and incentivized to stay reliable, and it enables governance so network parameters can evolve over time; the design also talks about keeping storage pricing more stable in real-world terms so regular users don’t feel like their storage bill changes wildly just because the token price moved. In practice, Walrus makes the most sense for anything data-heavy: NFT media and metadata that needs to stay accessible, decentralized websites and dApp front-ends that shouldn’t rely on a single server, games that require large downloadable assets, creator content that needs reliable hosting, and AI workflows where datasets, model-related files, or agent memory blobs need cost-efficient storage that doesn’t introduce a centralized failure point. The ecosystem side matters because storage networks don’t win purely on theory they win when builders actually integrate them so what you really want to watch is whether more apps start using Walrus in production, whether developer tooling and SDKs make it easy to adopt, whether retrieval stays fast and dependable under load, and whether the network stays decentralized as staking grows. The upside is that if Walrus becomes a default storage layer for real apps, growth can become very organic because every new app and every new dataset naturally increases storage demand; the strengths are clear in that it’s focused on blob storage, it’s engineered for real-world churn and reliability, and it ties token utility directly to actual network usage. The risks are just as real: adoption is the biggest one because storage is competitive and builders follow reliability and simplicity, delegated staking can concentrate power if most stake flows to a small set of operators, token unlock schedules can create market pressure regardless of product progress, and “privacy” can be misunderstood because storing encrypted blobs is possible but confidentiality depends on how applications manage encryption and keys. Overall, Walrus is best understood as infrastructure that wants to make decentralized storage feel normal fast enough, reliable enough, and developer-friendly enough that people use it without thinking too much and if it succeeds, WAL’s long-term value stops being purely narrative and starts being tied to something measurable: real storage demand, real network security participation, and real applications relying on it every day.

Dusk jest rodzajem projektu Layer-1, który ma więcej sensu im więcej myślisz o tym, jak finanse rzeczywiście działają w rzeczywistym świecie. Większość blockchainów jest zbudowana wokół radykalnej przejrzystości, gdzie wszystko jest domyślnie publiczne: salda, transfery, kontrahenci, czas, cała historia. To ekscytujące dla otwartych sieci, ale staje się poważnym problemem w momencie, gdy próbujesz przenieść regulowane finanse na łańcuch, ponieważ instytucje, a nawet normalni inwestorzy nie mogą działać z ich aktywami i strategiami na stałe narażonymi na obcych. Dusk, założony w 2018 roku, został zaprojektowany wokół tej rzeczywistości od samego początku: ma na celu być fundamentem blockchaina dla regulowanej i skoncentrowanej na prywatności infrastruktury finansowej, gdzie poufność jest szanowana, ale zgodność i audytowalność są nadal możliwe, gdy jest to wymagane.

Vanar Chain wydaje się być zaprojektowany z myślą o zwykłych ludziach, a nie tylko o insiderach kryptowalutowych. To blockchain warstwy 1 stworzony do rzeczywistego przyjęcia, szczególnie w obszarach, w których główni użytkownicy już spędzają czas na grach, rozrywce, markach, cyfrowych kolekcjonerkach i immersyjnych doświadczeniach online. Wielki pomysł jest prosty: Web3 nie stanie się mainstreamem, jeśli będzie wydawać się skomplikowany, drogi i mylący, więc Vanar ma na celu uczynienie warstwy blockchain gładką i niemal niewidoczną, jednocześnie dając użytkownikom prawdziwą własność. Ponieważ Vanar jest kompatybilny z EVM, deweloperzy mogą budować przy użyciu znanych narzędzi i inteligentnych kontraktów w stylu Ethereum, co obniża barierę dla szybkiego wprowadzenia aplikacji i pomaga ekosystemowi rosnąć szybciej. Pod maską, łańcuch jest zaprojektowany do szybkich potwierdzeń i wysokiej aktywności, co ma duże znaczenie dla aplikacji konsumenckich, w których ludzie wykonują wiele małych działań, handlując przedmiotami, ubiegając się o nagrody, mintując kolekcjonerskie przedmioty lub przenosząc aktywa w grze, nie chcąc martwić się o wolne oczekiwania lub nieprzewidywalne koszty.
