Glancing over non-EVM blockchain networks

There are several non-EVM blockchains worth watching too. Before we wrap up this chapter, let us take a high-level overview of two of those non-EVM chains, notably TRON blockchain and Solana.

TRON blockchain overview

TRON is a leading non-EVM-compatible open source public blockchain platform that supports smart contracts and can achieve high TPS. It has its own Turing complete VM, called TVM, very similar to EVM in Ethereum and EVM-compatible networks. It supports smart contracts written in Solidity, as well as other popular smart contracts in the planning. It has its own consensus mechanism in the DPoS algorithm. In the TRON network, 27 super representatives of nodes rotate every 6 hours to validate blocks and transactions and reach consensus via DPoS.

TRON is the native cryptocurrency powering the TRON network, paying for gas. In addition, very similar to the ERC-20 token standard, it also supports the TRC-20 fungible token standard...
