Raiden Network Description
The Raiden Network, an off-chain scaling solution that enables near-instant, low cost, and scalable payments, is the Raiden Network. It works with any ERC20 compatible token and is complementary to the Ethereum blockchain. The Raiden project continues to be developed. Its mission is to research state channel technology and define protocols. The Raiden Network is an infrastructure layer that sits on top of Ethereum's blockchain. Although the idea is simple, it is complex and difficult to implement. The technicalities can be simplified so developers can use a simple API to create scalable, decentralized applications that are based on Raiden Network. The Raiden Network's basic goal is to eliminate the blockchain consensus bottleneck. This is achieved by leveraging a network payment channels that allow secure transfer of value off-chain.

Truebit
Truebit is a blockchain-enhancement that allows smart contracts to securely execute complex computations in standard programming language languages at lower gas costs. Although smart contracts can correctly perform small computations, large computation tasks pose security threats for blockchains. Truebit addresses this problem by providing a trustless retrofitting oracle that correctly executes computation tasks. Any smart contract can issue a computation task via WebAssembly bycode to this oracle, while anonymous "miners," receive rewards for solving the task correctly. The protocol of the oracle guarantees correctness in two layers. There is a consensus layer where anyone can object if there are faulty solutions and an on-chain mechanism that incentivizes participation and ensures fair compensation. These components are formalized through a combination off-chain architecture and smart contracts on-chain.

Cartesi
Smart contracts can be built using mainstream software stacks. You can make a leap from Solidity to the vast array of Linux-supported software components. You can achieve a million-fold increase in computational scalability, large file data availability, and low transaction costs. All this while maintaining the strong security guarantees offered by Ethereum. You can keep your DApps private, from games that hide players' data to Enterprise applications that use sensitive data. Descartes performs large computational tasks off-chain on a Linux virtual computer fully specified by smart contracts. The computations are fully verifiable, and can be enforceable on-chain by Descartes node runners. This preserves the strong security guarantees of underlying blockchain. With multimillion-fold computational gains and strong security guarantees, you can overcome the Ethereum scalability limitations.

Meter
Meter is a high-performance infrastructure that allows smart contract to scale and travel seamlessly across heterogeneous blockchain networks. Meter is a Layer 1 or Layer 2 blockchain protocol. The Meter system consists two tokens: MTRG (the governance token; eMTRG is an ERC20 version) and MTR (the low-volatility currency to token).
Financial assets should be able to flow freely between blockchains. Meter's HotStuff-based consensus permits 1000s of validator nosdes, making it the most decentralized Layer 2 Ethereum. Meter processes thousands upon thousands of transactions per second, and transactions are confirmed almost immediately. Meter Passport allows assets, smart contracts and smart contracts to travel and communicate across heterogeneous Blockchains for the best price and liquidity. Meter is an Ethereum compatible with unique enhancements. Meter is a Layer 2 DEX that is front-running/MEV resistant and fast.

Starknet
Starknet is an unrestricted decentralized ZK Rollup that operates as an L2 network on Ethereum. Any dApp may achieve unlimited computation scale without compromising Ethereum’s composability or security. Starknet maintains the security of L1 Ethereum while achieving scale. It does this by producing STARK Proofs off-chain and verifying these proofs on-chain. Starknet Contracts allow developers to deploy any business logic. Starknet will offer composability at Ethereum's level, allowing for easy development and compounding of innovation. The STARK Prover is the engine that powers StarkEx's scalability engine. It has already demonstrated its ability to process 600K transactions on Mainnet in a single proof.
