XRP is changing the crypto world by providing lightning speed and geographical limitation on transactions in the digital payment industry. On the other hand, TRON, Avalanche, NEAR, and Internet Computers are cultivating the development of new ideas to be implemented into the blockchain that may define the future of decentralized technology.

XRP: The Visionary Payment System of Ripple Labs

• Current price:$0.5672
• Market cap:$31.9B

XRP is the cryptocurrency created by Ripple Labs to achieve world payment system innovation. The XRP Ledger makes it possible to employ a fast and inexpensive distributed payment system by removing borders. Unlike Bitcoin, which takes several days to complete a transaction due to the proof-of-work method, XRP uses a consensus network that is scalable with a throughput of over 1500 transactions per second. The news of Ripple’s lawsuits ended on a happy note for Ripple, and the outlook of XRP in global finance began to take a positive course.

TRON (TRX): Empowering Digital Content Creators

• Current price:$0.157
• Market cap:$13.6B

TRON (TRX) operating system is a blockchain technology project that was meant to give doll bread and authors legal and real owning rights. TRON initially commenced as an ERC-20 token issued on Ethereum and later crossed to its Blockchain. There are solicitations concerning the application of smart contracts and decentralized (dApps) affecting the use of a creative but Bitcoin-style transaction model within the TRON platform. The platform promotes a new approach to content distribution, where users create and consume media and compensate the creators directly without any third party like YouTube or Facebook. For this reason, TRON has become a popular platform among dApp developers who would rather develop their applications off Ethereum.

Avalanche (AVAX): The Scalable Ethereum Rival

• Current price: $23.07
• Market cap:$9.3B

The new combination in blockchain technology is best represented by the primary new competing network, Avalanche, which aims to be better than Ethereum in terms of internal scalability regarding smart contracts. Avalanche provides a capacity of 6500 throughput with secure validation. It has a multi-chain architecture consisting of an X-chain, C-chain, and P-chain, which fulfill different functions. Thanks to this original structure and the gradual improvements in cross-chain communications between Avalanche and Ethereum, AVAX should become one of the leading projects in the field of smart contracts.

NEAR Protocol: A User-Friendly Blockchain for Developers

• Current price:$4.10
• Market cap:$4.5B

NEAR Protocol is a layer-one blockchain aimed at solving the issues inherent in other blockchains’ low transaction speed and poor interoperability. NEAR seeks to offer a comfortable user interface that a developer can use and accomplish, such as using human-friendly account names and a novel consensus model dubbed ‘Doomslug.’ The NEAR Collective is a community-driven development team looking to design and build a secure and scalable platform that can handle high-value assets with everyday use. NEAR is gaining traction and quite some attention from developers seeking a less complex blockchain ecosystem.

Internet Computer (ICP): A New Era Of Blockchain Technology

• Current price: $7.48
• Market cap:$3.5B

The new Canadian Internet Computer Corporation (ICP) is a Canadian governmental body functioning in an entirely new sphere of Blockchain technology and self-identifying as the first ‘World Computer’ blockchain. The ICP is quite different from traditional blockchains. It wants to create a completely decentralized internet to help run various online applications, such as social networks, without cloud services. There are three main ways a person can use ICP: to pay for coordination and computation via “cycles,” to stake to hold participatory governance or to hedge against depreciation. Such versatility enables the ICP to capture a satisfying if not dominant, market share within the competing cyberspace.
