In this section, an introduction to new blockchain solutions will be given, and later sections will cover various platforms and development kits that complement existing blockchains. For example, Kadena is a new private blockchain with novel ideas such as Scalable BFT. Various concepts such as sidechains, drivechains, and pegging have also been introduced with this growth of blockchain technologies. This chapter will cover all these technologies and related concepts in detail. Of course, it's not possible to cover all alternative chains (altchains) and platforms, but all those platforms have been included in this chapter that is related to blockchains, covered in the previous chapters, or are expected to gain traction soon.
We will explore Kadena, Ripple, Stellar, Quorum and various other blockchains in the section.
