Ethereum 2.0 has over $26 billion worth of ETH in its deposit contract leading up to the chain's full upgrade this year.

XRP was created as the native token of fintech company Ripple to reduce the cost of transactions in cryptocurrencies and to act as an alternative mode of payment to the universal Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT). It ensures that transactions are completed within 3-5 seconds through its adoption of validators that are made up of Ripple, financial institutions, and universities. The cost of transactions on the Ripple platform using XRP is lower when compared to fees paid in doing transactions on Bitcoin and Ethereum platforms. What is XRP? XRP is the cryptocurrency token that is used on Ripple’s products such as Ripplenet and XRapid. It is open-source and runs on the XRP ledger. XRP is the only cryptocurrency that can be used in carrying out transactions on the XRP ledger, while any other cryptocurrencies can be used on Ripplenet’s platform. Transactions on the XRP ledger (XRPL) are almost instant and cost fractions of the U.S dollar. XRP was launched The XRP ledger is a decentralized public blockchain that is owned by the global developer community. Let’s see the XRP price prediction for the coming years. Price Analysis of XRP token? Flashback: Fundamental Analysis of XRP The recent ban imposed on Russia by the U.S and the European allies that would remove it from operating with SWIFT has increased the price of XRP by over 10% in less than 72 hours since XRP enables users to carry out cross border remittance within seconds through its XRapid product and Ripplenet platforms. Also, Ripple entered into a partnership with Modulr Technology, a leading payment platform in the U.K and Europe. This will help in ensuring seamless transactions to their customers with the XRP token. One of its subsidiaries, Trust Payments is a major beneficiary of the deal. In another partnership news, XRP parent company Ripple, partners with the Digital Euro Association (DEA) to ensure sharing of knowledge in their plan to launch Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) by 2023.

Avalanche is launching a major initiative in the subnets market.

Cosmos is the blockchain protocol that creates a new web in the ecosystem. It has some similarities to Ethereum with its Turing-complete clever contract language. It focuses on building decentralized applications, but it also aims to be a platform for business collaboration with faster transactions, cheaper fees, and less energy consumption. The proposed governing system is called the ‘Polkadot network’, consisting of various layers and benefits from native interoperability with other blockchains. What is Polkadot and Cosmos? Cosmos is the blockchain protocol that creates a new web in the ecosystem. The proposed governing system is called the ‘Polkadot network,’ consisting of various layers and benefits from native interoperability with other blockchains. It has some similarities to Ethereum with its Turing-complete imaginative contract language. It focuses on building decentralized applications, but it also aims to be a platform for business collaboration with faster transactions, cheaper fees, and less energy consumption. Why do you need them? The idea behind Polkadot is that the blockchain ecosystem is becoming a cluttered jungle of systems, which in turn creates severe obstacles to interoperability for various projects. The Polkadot (or ‘parachain’) project proposes to solve this problem by creating a hub that can merge and reconcile different blockchains, providing a better way of token exchange. Instead of asking each blockchain to develop its memorable currency exchange and complex mechanism for data transfer between blockchains, the developers are trying to create an alternative blockchain that will act as a standard hub and allow seamless exchange between all the other existing chains. An overview of their differences: ​1. Differences in the protocol: Cosmos uses Tendermint as its primary consensus protocol, where the entire network of validators can change depending on which block gets added and validated. This allows for a more flexible network that is also self-healing in the case of a power outage or other issues with the underlying hardware. 2. Differences in idea: Cosmos is quite similar to Ethereum as it also focuses on fast transactions, smart contracts, and developing decentralized apps. The Polkadot developers want to provide a system for all blockchains to use, while Ethereum is more focused on building more sophisticated decentralized applications. 3. goal differences: Cosmos plans to create a platform that will allow businesses and other parties to collaborate freely. At the same time, Ethereum aims to create a platform for blue-chip companies and other large corporations who want an utterly autonomous blockchain with no outside influence. 4. Differences in the technology: Cosmos uses Tendermint as its primary consensus protocol, where the entire network of validators can change depending on which block gets added and validated. This allows for a more flexible network that is also self-healing in the case of a power outage or other issues with the underlying hardware.  Final verdict The developers of Polkadot are trying to create a platform for all blockchains, making it possible for them to merge and reduce their number. In turn, the Cosmos creators are trying to provide a protocol that would allow blockchain systems to communicate and collaborate. Both projects have their own goals and problems, so they’re pretty different.  As we can see, both of them are trying to achieve the same goals and solve the same problems, but they are also different in terms of technology, target audience, governance layer, and governance model. ​One thing is for sure: blockchain technology has already achieved a significant degree of maturity and provided many opportunities for businesses worldwide.
