Ethereum

Ethereum, a fully programmable blockchain.

Ethereum is one of the few, indeed perhaps the only, blockchain technology with a similar trajectory and potential. Even the early “public permissionless” vs. “private permissioned” differentiation to expedite enterprise adoption strongly echoes the internet vs. intranet deployment considerations that were so prevalent before enterprises became comfortable with security and scalability issues of the then available public infrastructure.

Polkadot has the potential to integrate so called ‘private’ chains into the same consensus network as public chains like Ethereum - while still retaining their privacy and permissioned safeguards. It gives us a new transactive layer potentially linking hundreds of blockchains to one another."
