Proof of Work (PoW)
Proof of Work (PoW) is a blockchain consensus mechanism to validate transactions and create new blocks through computational efforts by miners.
Proof of Stake (PoS)
Proof of Stake (PoS) is a blockchain consensus mechanism where validators are selected to create new blocks based on the amount of cryptocurrency they hold and are willing to stake as collateral.
Privacy Blockchain
Programmable Layer 1 or Layer 2 networks that serve as platforms for dApps while prioritizing confidentiality. Unlike standard, general-purpose programmable blockchains like Ethereum, these networks have privacy preserved at the consensus or execution layer, enabling "private-by-default" or "opt-in private" smart contracts.
Zero Knowledge (ZK)
Zero-knowledge proof or Zero-knowledge protocol is a method by which one party (the prover) can prove to another party (the verifier) that a given statement is true while the prover avoids conveying any additional information apart from the fact that the statement is indeed true. This category tracks cryptocurrency that utilises Zero Knowledge implementation to execute transactions, which may include smart contract execution, value transfer, and others.
Layer 2 (L2)
Layer 2s are off-chain vertical scaling solutions that run on top of Layer 1 blockchains like Ethereum to improve scalability, while maintaining the decentralization and security standards of the Layer 1.

What are Smart Contract Platforms?
Smart contract platforms are blockchains that host smart contracts. Smart contracts are the backbone of decentralized applications (dApps), and smart contract platforms make it possible for developers to deploy apps ranging from decentralized exchanges that run on automated market makers (AMM), decentralized loan providers that enable users to lend and borrow cryptocurrencies, and even yield aggregators that automatically move assets to the best performing pools to maximize returns for their investors.
What are Smart Contracts?
Smart contracts are self-executing computer programs on a blockchain that activate specific outcomes when certain predetermined conditions are met. They are also immutable while providing transparency to all parties involved, as they are recorded on the blockchain.
To interact with smart contracts, users have to pay gas fees in the smart contract platform’s native coin. Gas measures the computational effort required to conduct transactions, the cost of which may vary based on the complexity of the smart contract.
Popular Smart Contract Platforms
Many Layer 1 blockchains support smart contracts, as smart contracts replace the role of the financial institution in decentralized finance. Popular L1 smart contract platforms include Ethereum, the largest smart contract platform and a pioneer of the space, and BNB Smart Chain (BSC), which is EVM-compatible, enabling users to use applications like Metamask to store their BEP-20 tokens.
Smart contract platforms also include Layer 2 (L2) scaling solutions, such as Arbitrum. These L2 solutions offer users faster and cheaper transactions by utilizing technology such as sidechains, bested blockchains, or optimistic and zero-knowledge rollups. These also depend on smart contracts, which validate the proof generated by the L2 protocol, validate it, resolve any disputes, and finalize transactions on the base blockchain.
