There are now several smart contract blockchains as alternatives to $ETH: $DOT, $AVA, $SOL and others.
What's a good primer for their strengths and weaknesses?
#beyourbestshill
$SOL: fastest, most scaling, weak tooling
$AVAX: thought very hard about consensus, probably good tooling, just launched so a bit TBD
$DOT: most like ETH2.0, biggest network, really into sharding
Speed > Tooling, exponential tool growth comes with first brave souls to take the leap of faith. Better to solve scalability off the bat than hit peak immediately.
