• Avalanche: Scalable at 6,500 TPS, AVAX excels in dApps and blockchain environments with unique tri-chain architecture.

  • Chainlink: Revolutionizing smart contracts, LINK connects blockchains with external data through its decentralized oracle network.

  • MANTRA: Built on Cosmos SDK, OM supports compliance and real-world asset integration with 10,000 TPS scalability.

The DeFi space is rapidly evolving, with platforms like Avalanche, Chainlink, MANTRA, and Uniswap leading the charge in 2024. From scalable blockchain architecture and oracle networks to real-world asset integration and decentralized trading, these projects are revolutionizing the way we interact with digital finance.

Avalanche(AVAX) typical transactions are significantly faster

Current price:$37.89

Market cap:$15.9B

Avalanche has consequently evolved as a major rival of Ethereum, with its major specialty areas being dApps and bespoke blockchain environments. Used with the breakthrough Architecture for scalable blockchains, Avalanche brings scalability without compromising the number of transactions it can handle challenged by other solutions with as much as 6,500 TPS. The network’s unique structure comprises three specialized blockchains: The X-chain, the C-chain, and the P-chain, with the last three letters referring to ‘Chain.’ This significantly differs from the homogeneous node validation methods used by Ethereum and Bitcoin. Also, Avalanche uses various consensus types suitable to each chain while increasing efficiencies.

Chainlink(LINK) has added to its decentralized Oracle network

Current price:$22.27

Market cap:$14.06B

Chainlink has a key role in the development of new technologies in this segment. Consequently, as a decentralized oracle network, it allows blockchains to respond to external data, which is mostly necessary for complicated smart contracts. With Chainlink’s increasingly diverse community, there are data suppliers, node runners, and developers to guarantee public involvement. This strong network benefits smart contracts and solidifies Chainlink as a driving force in blockchain integration.

MANTRA(OM): Blockchain for use in the Real World

Current price:$3.61

Market cap:$3.51B

MANTRA first proposes a security approach to blockchain integration coupled with compliance with necessary regulations. Intended for institutions and developers, it is built using the Cosmos SDK and is IBC compatible. Thus, the platform can adopt a large scale capable of performing 10,000 transactions in one second. In a similar manner, MANTRA has also included P2P constructed-in modules and APIs to create and maintain compliant real-world assets.

Uniswap(UNI): DeFi Trading and Governance Expansion

Current price:$13.60

Market cap:$8.77B

Uniswap, one of the top decentralized trading platforms, remains active in shaping the future of DeFi by enabling token trading for anyone with cryptos.  It allows users to trade directly from their wallets, thus resolving the liquidity problems of early DeFi platforms.  With its UNI governance token, user interaction is possible to unlock token possession so that token holders can shape the protocol. The UNI token has become central to user involvement, transforming Uniswap into an essential player in decentralized governance.
