Berachain is a high-performance EVM-compatible blockchain built on Proof-of-Liquidity consensus. Proof-of-Liquidity is a novel consensus mechanism that aims to align network incentives, creating strong synergy between Berachain validators and the ecosystem of projects. Berachain's technology is built on Polaris, a high-performance blockchain framework for building EVM-compatible chains on-top of the CometBFT consensus engine.
Monad is building a high-performance, Layer 1 blockchain for the next generation of decentralized applications. Monad's mission is to accelerate the disruptive force of decentralization by building a blockchain that is 100x to 1000x faster than its nearest competitors. This will alleviate severe bottlenecks in existing blockchains and enable more complex applications and wider adoption.
Ethena is building derivative infrastructure to enable Ethereum to transform into the Global Internet Bond via delta-neutral positions on stETH, to create the first crypto-native, yield bearing stablecoin: USDE.
