Chainlink's decentralized oracle network is an open-source technology infrastructure that allows any blockchain to securely connect to off-chain data and computation resources. The network nodes fetch, validate, and deliver data from multiple sources onto blockchains to execute smart contracts.
Since each block contains information about the previous block, they effectively form a chain (compare linked list data structure), with each additional block linking to the ones before it. Consequently, blockchain transactions are resistant to alteration because, once recorded, the data in any given block cannot be changed retroactively ...
Binance Smart Chain is now merged with Binance chain and called BNB chain. Validators on BNB chain are chosen by BNB Beacon chain validators who are permissioned. Hence, BNB chain is considered permissioned. [29] Quorum Nov 22, 2016 ? Ether PoA with supermajority voting Yes Yes Yes Immediate Account-balance Enterprise version of Ethereum [30] IOTA
MetaMask is a software cryptocurrency wallet used to interact with the Ethereum blockchain.It allows a user to access their Ethereum wallet through a browser extension or mobile app, which can then be used to interact with decentralized applications.

Joseph Lubin, Gavin Wood, & Jeffrey Wilcke were added in early 2014 as founders." Buterin chose the name Ethereum after browsing a list of elements from science fiction on Wikipedia.
Polygon (formerly Matic Network) is a blockchain platform which aims to create a multi-chain blockchain system compatible with Ethereum. As with Ethereum, it uses a proof of stake consensus mechanism for processing transactions on-chain. Polygon's native token is POL, an ERC-20 token which allows for compatibility with other Ethereum ...
Solidity is the primary programming language for developing smart contracts on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). [32] However, Rust has emerged as a strong alternative in the blockchain ecosystem, especially for blockchains that support WebAssembly (Wasm), such as Polkadot , Klever and Solana .
The Ethereum Foundation applied their trademark to the new, altered version of the Ethereum blockchain. [2] The older, unaltered version of Ethereum was renamed and continued on as Ethereum Classic. [2] Ethereum Classic's native Ether token is a cryptocurrency traded on digital currency exchanges under the currency code ETC. [3]
