Building Smart Contract Platforms
summary
Five protocols compare concrete choices: NEO uses a dBFT-style consensus and a language-independent NeoVM that compiles C#, Java, Go and others; Zilliqa launches mainnet in April and ships the Scilla language to enable formal verification for high-assurance contracts; Aelf implements a multi-chain sidechains architecture plus a task scheduler to parallelize transactions and avoid double-spend; Radix highlights six years of R&D on a new ledger design; Aeternity integrates oracles and specialized VMs. Each project reports code, testnets or mainnets running and active community grants and hackathons.
