Matic Network is a layer two solution to scalability and a great part about it if you understand what's happening at defy is that they're very fast and cheap. For example, people are defy yielding and it's very expensive to do that, you got to make sure you're right when you're doing defy yielding strategies (that's why I've been testing hundreds of situations to make sure I get the best strategy but when it comes to actual transactions we have to make them a little bit cheaper so people can do more things and move in and out of the market better.) The beauty is that they're fully compatible with ERC-20 Ethereum so right now we know that Ethereum is doing very well in a lot of areas so if they have a problem with scalability they can easily transfer over to Matic Network which is a very big plus. I think they're going to get some adoption from ERC-20 and defy and I think it's going to increase the price.
2. BLOCKSTACK
The great part about them out of every other cryptocurrency in the market is that they're the first SEC-qualified cryptocurrency. Blockstack is an open source effort to design, develop and grow a decentralized computing network that provides a full-stack alternative to traditional cloud computing. It uses the existing internet transport layer and underlying communication protocols while removing points of centralization in the application layer. Their design principle keeps the core of the network simple while pushing the complexity to the clients to scale the apps they minimize global state changes and provide a decentralized storage systems that gives comparable performance to cloud stores. They're building a platform on which app developers can build apps that give control of user identity and data back to the users. Meaning those apps you'll be using and blockstack itself will not store your user identity or data and all of that will be controlled by you.
3. UNIBRIGHT
The baseline protocol is all about connecting traditional systems to each other via Ethereum Mainnet. Daily business functions can be put on a blockchain and you can make this business thing mainstream and they have a whole experience (more than 20 years) and it's definitely a coin you want to take advantage of.
4. DASH
This is a competing as a digital currency and the great part about them is that they're solidified in the cryptocurrency community and they have a low supply. If you're looking to make money low supply is something you want to look out for. It's scarcity, it's like when you buy something that's limited supply and definitely is more expensive. Same thing it's with crypto. They have a lower supply than Bitcoin and that's going to cause the price to get high.
5. CARDANO
Cardano is doing the same thing as Ethereum and a different approach, they have their own method of doing it. It's an open-source smart contract platform that is focused on peer-review and scientific study. being a smart contract platform means that developers will be able to build apps on the Cardano blockchain in the same way that they do on Ethereum, EOS, Tezos, etc. Technically the blockchain uses proof of state consensus method called Ouroboros. It's completely unique and was developed exclusively for Cardano.
6. BASIC ATTENTION TOKEN
In November of last year they released BRAVE 1.0 and the first fully featured Brave browser went live. It had already been in beta release before that and had over 8.7 million monthly active users. With the release of Brave browser 1.0 some of the most important features of the browser were brought to the fore. These included:
- brave rewards (to support their favorite content creators)
- brave ads (that pay for your attention)
- brave shields (for automatic ad and tracker blocking)
Brave rewards- allows content creators to earn some returns for pushing great content. They're able to embed brave banners on their sites or channels which then allow users to quickly send them back right in from their browser. There have been already 470,000 verified content creators registering for brave rewards.
Brave ads- this is the feature that allows users to earn BAT for viewing these ads. These are privacy-preserving ads. The advertiser does not know anything about the viewer apart from that they are paying for their attention. Over 500 ad campaigns from companies such as Intel, Pizza Hut or home chef.
7. COSMOS
In a nutshell, Cosmos Network is a decentralized ecosystem of independent blockchains that can scale and connect to one another. This includes not only blockchains that are built on Cosmos, but also external blockchains such as Bitcoin and Ethereum through what's called a peg zone. Cosmos has already done some of the hard work for us and has named this an "Internet of Blockchains" or "IoB" for short.
The Cosmos network is a dual-layer blockchain ecosystem with native token Cosmos or "ATOM" to power its transactions. The first layer packages the networking and consensus layers of a blockchain into a generic engine. This allows developers to focus on the application development instead of the protocol which makes the network run.
