I'm trying to research this as well. These concepts are hard to understand.. but here is my current list:
- Ark
- RGB - Prime
- Utreexo
- Mercury
- Citrea
- Pathcoin
- State channels, Rollups, Drive-chains, other side chains (ie Rootstock or LayerTwo labs)
reply
Is there a good source to get understanding of these solutions? Mainly Ark vs RGB-Prime vs Mercury vs e-cash (fedimint...) vs liquid vs lightning
I think starter for @hynek would be to get a table
- date proposed
- activity (number of participants, changes per month)
- state of current project/UX (idea, definition doc, prototype, alpha, beta, smooth user mobile experience)
- needs a soft fork? (And which one - covenants?)
- who is sponsoring it? How much?
- how many transactions does it require onchain (1 per 3 transactions, unlimited...)
- what is used for extra data store (op_return...)
- how many actors are needed to make transaction (e.g. N/2 or just 3...)
- how many actors can block you from transacting
- how many actors are needed to steal funds (e.g. 15)
- how heavy is the client (e.g. 2GB per year)
- requires being online?
- requires interactivity from multiple actors?
- key concept/architecture ("P2P with clients storing state", "low n of validators"...)
