Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) blockchain architectures serve distinct purposes. BTC’s blockchain, designed for secure peer-to-peer transactions, uses a simple ledger for tracking transfers, prioritizing security through Proof of Work (PoW). Its architecture focuses on immutability, with miners validating transactions via energy-intensive computations. Ethereum, however, supports smart contracts, enabling decentralized applications (dApps). Its architecture includes the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), allowing programmable transactions, making it more versatile but complex. $DOT

Polkadot (DOT) shares Ethereum’s focus on flexibility, supporting interoperability. BTC’s block size limits scalability, processing 3-7 transactions per second (TPS), while ETH, with PoS post-Merge, achieves higher TPS and lower energy use. $BTC

BTC emphasizes decentralization and security, with a rigid structure, while ETH’s architecture evolves to support scalability via sharding. However,$ETH

ETH’s complexity increases vulnerability to bugs, unlike BTC’s simplicity. Both chains inspire projects like DOT, which balances security and interoperability. Understanding their architectures highlights trade-offs: BTC’s reliability versus ETH’s innovation. #Bitcoin #Ethereum #BlockchainArchitecture #SmartContracts #Interoperability
