Smart contract platforms serve as decentralized frameworks that enable self-executing contracts, with terms directly embedded in code

Smart contract platforms serve as decentralized frameworks that enable self-executing contracts, with terms directly embedded in code. This functionality is crucial for the operation of numerous on-chain applications, including 

, facilitating transactions without intermediaries. The landscape is divided into Layer 1 (L1) and Layer 2 (L2) networks.

L1 blockchains, such as Ethereum and Solana, provide the foundational infrastructure for 

 (DApps), while L2 networks like Arbitrum and Optimism enhance the capabilities of L1s by improving scalability and efficiency. 

Heading into 2025, Ethereum remains the dominant L1, holding a 70% share of total TVL within DeFi. However, the market is evolving, with new entrants like 

The competitive L2 space is also transforming, with 

 leading the pack, boasting a market cap exceeding $5 billion. Newcomers such as 

 are reshaping the landscape, demonstrating a trend toward diversification and innovation in blockchain technology.

Several emerging platforms are redefining the smart contract landscape through unique technological innovations and community engagement. 

, derived from Meta's Diem project, utilizes the Move programming language to enhance security and scalability. With over 200 projects in its ecosystem, Aptos has seen a 13.5x increase in TVL, reflecting strong growth.

Sui, which shares a similar heritage, focuses on scalability through its object-centric model and unique consensus mechanism that allow for individual transaction confirmation. This innovative approach has led to a remarkable 14.9x increase in TVL, signaling Sui’s potential as a formidable player in the market.

, an L1 solution designed for high throughput and low latency. Finally, Berachain introduces a Proof-of-Liquidity consensus mechanism that focuses on aligning liquidity and security within its DeFi-centric ecosystem.

As the landscape of smart contract platforms continues to evolve, several challenges must be addressed. Security vulnerabilities remain a significant concern, as smart contracts are prone to bugs that can be exploited. Continuous auditing and robust security practices are essential to mitigating these risks.

Market saturation poses another challenge, as the influx of new platforms intensifies competition for developers and users. To stand out, new entrants are forming strategic partnerships and focusing on niche markets to differentiate themselves from established players. 

Centralization is also a critical issue, and governance structures and validator reliance must be scrutinized in order to ensure long-term viability.

Looking ahead, the outlook for smart contract platforms remains promising. Innovations in modular architectures and interoperability are improving user experience within web3, while increasing institutional interest could bring additional resources and innovation to the space. As the ecosystem continues to mature, these platforms are likely to play a pivotal role in redefining interactions with digital assets, driving demand within DeFi and beyond.

Smart Contract Platforms Report: Up-and-Coming Challengers to Ethereum and Solana

PAAL AI (PAAL) is an AI-focused Ethereum-based crypto project offering custom virtual assistants, AI trading, content creation, audits, and more.

 (AI) and machine learning (ML) are undoubtedly the hottest current topics in the world of crypto, and in the entire business world, for that matter. Riding the wave of wild AI enthusiasm, AI-focused blockchain projects and coins are experiencing unprecedented growth. Projects like Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (FET), 

 (AGIX), all focused on the AI sphere and its use cases, have been receiving massive attention from users and industry observers.

Another high-profile AI-oriented crypto project, Paal AI (PAAL), has also benefited from the niche's surging popularity. As of late December 2024, the project has grown to occupy one of the top spots in the crypto market's category of AI agents.

While the majority of other AI-focused blockchain projects specialize in one or two specialized applications of the technology, Paal AI has taken a more comprehensive approach. The platform offers a wide variety of AI products and services, including task automation through AI bots and agents, AI-driven content creation, crypto trading supported by AI algorithms, automated 

 audits and AI model training using outsourced GPU processing power. 

At the platform's core is a service that allows users to create intelligent AI bots and agents to automate various complex tasks and business processes. However, a quick glance at the platform's overall product line clearly demonstrates that Paal AI aims to leverage AI technology for many different things, all at the junction of AI and blockchain technologies.

 (DApp) that offers crypto users a variety of AI-powered products and services, with the core product being an easy-to-use functionality to create custom AI virtual assistants.

 In addition to this service, the platform features various other products supported by AI algorithms, including AI-driven content creation using images and video, crypto trading automation, cryptocurrency market insights, automated smart contract audits and even AI model training via GPU power rentals.

The platform's diverse product line also includes the user-friendly Paal AI Web Widget, which can be integrated into any website. It offers a chatbot that delivers information and insights on the crypto market, and even conducts general online searches.

Another key product devised by the project is Paal as a Service (PaaS), a customized way to address the AI needs of various industry sectors, including online betting, trading, digital collectibles and more.

The Paal AI platform was launched on Ethereum in June 2023. The project's only publicly identified co-founder is mononymously known as 

. As of December 2024, Paal AI is among the top five leading crypto projects in the AI agents niche, with a market cap exceeding $280 million.

Paal AI Studio is a web application that provides a user-friendly interface for interacting with its diverse range of AI tools. It has four primary modes: MyPaal, Explore, Creative Lab and Agents.

The first mode, MyPaal, allows you to create AI bots with personalized knowledge bases and traits. Bots created via this mode can be used for custom applications and business processes requiring specific domain knowledge.

The second mode, the aptly named Explore, lets you browse through and select pre-built AI solutions that fit specific business needs. You can choose a suitable solution and use it out of the box, or configure it to better suit your specific task automation requirements.

Creative Lab mode provides AI tools to help you create content using images and video. This capability may be useful for creators whose content requirements involve rich media beyond textual information.

The last mode, Agents, lets you easily create and deploy 

 for various task automation and workflow optimization purposes.

MyPaalBot is an AI service that lets you create your personalized bot to carry out various tasks, including delivering information on the crypto market, trading automation and more. You can create your own personalized bot through the Paal AI Studio interface, and customize it for specific domains and tasks.

MyPaal can interact with users such as online community members, automate processes and integrate into platforms like Telegram and the Paal AI Web Widget. Bots created with MyPaalBot can engage in discussions with you, just like the ubiquitously popular 

. However, the difference between Paal-based bots and ChatGPT is that you can customize the former for specific domains, including cryptocurrency and trading, while the latter is simply a general-purpose chat bot, albeit a powerful one.

PaalX is the platform's solution for AI-powered crypto trading. It offers models, automated trading strategies and tools to help traders at all experience levels. Using PaalX, you can place manual orders, set up AI agents to execute automatic trades, track specific tokens using AI-based tracking tools, analyze the crypto market and access trading alerts.

In addition to its trading tools, PaalX offers access to a knowledge base and an FAQ section, as well as the opportunity to engage with other platform users via Telegram.

PaalX's user-friendly interface allows you to specify your manual order configuration in great detail, with options to set key parameters, such as trade sizes based on the percentage of available balance, the percentage of gain to close an order for take-profit and stop-loss levels based on token price fluctuations, and maximum tolerable 

If you'd like to automate your trading, PaalX lets you easily set up an AI agent, specify basic parameters — and then sit back and let your AI trading assistant execute your prespecified strategies.

Ask.Paal is an AI chatbot that delivers market insights, in addition to real-time analytics for cryptocurrency and blockchain projects and assets. You can ask it anything related to the crypto market or blockchain industry, or browse the featured projects listed on its interface for more in-depth information.

Ask.Paal offers the user a choice between different large language models (LLMs), such as PaalGPT, IBM

 and others. You can experiment with different LLMs to select the one that provides the most robust crypto research and fits your preferences in terms of its conversational style and knowledge.

There are also plugins available for Ask.Paal to extend its base functionality. Some of the more interesting plug-ins include Narratives Plugin, a tool to explore or create community-validated narratives about the crypto market or hot crypto trends; Voice Output, which allows Ask.Paal to respond to your queries in voice rather than text; and Image Search, which delivers infographics and visuals related to specific crypto projects or assets.

Audit.Paal is a solution to help you audit specific tokens and smart contracts for research and fraud detection purposes. Your personal AI agent scans the projects and assets you specify to identify issues like potential honeypots, 

 prevalent in the cryptocurrency world. For each token you query, Audit.Paal provides comprehensive analytics related to token permissions and potential vulnerabilities. You can also access your audit history and pending audits for efficient audit management.

As of December 2024, Audit.Paal is capable of scanning and analyzing assets on Ethereum, 

. Paal AI also provides an API to help developers integrate Audit.Paal into their platforms.

Deploy.paal is a service that lets AI model developers rent GPU processing capacity from the Paal AI platform on a flexible, per-use basis to train AI models and run AI algorithms. Training and running AI models often requires significant processing power, especially considering the ever-increasing user demands on AI-supported functionality. The amount of data typically used for model training and inferences is substantial. At the same time, hardware processing capacity is quickly becoming a scarce resource.

Using Deploy.paal, developers can access significant GPU capacity on a flexible and affordable basis to train and run their AI models. The platform offers two primary machine instances via the cloud to run GPU-intensive tasks: g4dn.xlarge and g4dn.2xlarge. One hour of processing by these machines costs $0.07 and $0.10, respectively. Developers pay only for the amount of time they utilize these resources; there are no lock-in contracts or initial setup fees, making Deploy.paal a convenient and cost-effective way to train and run AI algorithms.

Deploy.paal users can also scale their machines up and down anytime, depending on their current capacity requirements. Overall, Deploy.paal is probably among the most flexible GPU renting services in the 

 (NFT) collections for its user community. In August 2023, during the platform's first months of operation, Paal AI released the free Beta Bots collection, consisting of 213 NFTs, each dedicated to a step or milestone in the evolution of AI. Initially, the NFTs were distributed to community members for free, though they’ve since become available for purchase on the secondary market through 

The second collection, PaalX Bots, was released in March 2024 and consists of 1,000 items, each one opening access to a range of benefits and perks on the platform. PaalX Bots NFT holders can enjoy various benefits, such as trading on PaalX with no transaction fees, earning a share of trading volume revenues and accessing advanced trading options. NFTs from this collection are also available on the secondary market through OpenSea.

The platform's native cryptocurrency, PAAL, is an 

 token issued on the Ethereum blockchain. PAAL mainly provides access to AI products, agents and various functions on the platform. It can also be used to unlock special features or qualify for reward distributions.

The PAAL token is supply-capped, with a total and maximum supply specified at 1 billion.

Another key functionality of the PAAL token is 

. PAAL stakers can earn competitive APY rates by locking their funds in the platform's staking pools.

As of the time of this writing (Dec 26, 2024), you can select three staking periods — 14, 28 and 56 days, with the longer commitment periods offering higher APY rates. Currently, the platform offers APYs of 3%, 10% and 15% for 14-, 28- and 56-day staking periods, respectively.

The project funnels any token buybacks of PAAL into its staking pools to boost reward rates and earnings for stakers.

The PAAL token is available on Bybit's Spot market as a 

As of Dec 26, 2024, the PAAL token is trading at $0.3385, or 60.7% lower than its ATH of $0.8598 on Mar 10, 2024, and 737,122% higher than its ATL of $0.00004587 on Jul 24, 2023.

Long-term price forecasts for PAAL are bullish. DigitalCoinPrice 

 $0.81 in 2025 and $2.32 in 2030, while CoinCodex 

 that the token will trade at $1.507 in 2025 and $1.319 in 2030.

You might consider investing in the PAAL token based on the following factors:

Naturally, before investing in PAAL or any other cryptocurrency, you’re encouraged to do your own 

AI and ML technologies are currently fueling massive growth in the cryptocurrency industry. A cursory look at crypto market data reveals that AI-linked coins are currently among the most popular assets, attracting investors who aren't shy of risk in search of high rewards. Since its launch in mid-2023, Paal AI has steadily gained its footing among the top crypto projects dedicated to the AI agents subsector. As we move into 2025, the platform's comprehensive set of AI products and services will be its key differentiation point, potentially helping it cement its place among the most popular AI cryptocurrencies.

The PAAL token is currently off the head-spinning heights it climbed to earlier in 2024, a development that’s quite characteristic of many other AI cryptos. While this indicates that the wild, unbridled enthusiasm for these assets is receding, overall interest in these cryptocurrencies will likely remain strong, albeit at more realistic and objectively justified levels. 

With interest in AI — particularly AI agents — expected to thrive in the years to come, Paal AI has every chance to solidify its already respectable market position.

Of course, you know Bitcoin. But how much you know about the rest? Here are the different types of cryptocurrency you must know!

Types-of-Cryptocurrency.jpg

All hail to this brave new crypto world! You may or may not have heard of Ethereum, but surely you know something about Bitcoin. But, what if I tell you that there are many other types of cryptocurrency out there? Ranging from web3 tokens, ICO tokens, 

, you’ll be surprised what this dynamite crypto space has to offer.

With the altcoin season on the bull and Bitcoin prices continue to surge, especially when Elon Musk changes his 

. The crypto market like a colossus and the industry will continue to blossom into something even more substantial. 

So, if you’re curious about what’s next after Bitcoin, read on as we dissect the different types of cryptocurrency. Perhaps, you’ll also find some insights to diversify your investment portfolio.

Just like the type of fiat currency (your usual dollar bill), 

 is decentralized, relying only on the peer-to-peer community computer network made up of users’ machines or “nodes.” That means it is independent and not governed by a central bank or monetary authority. Also known as virtual currency or digital currency, cryptocurrency is often recognized as a medium of exchange for transactional purposes. 

In contrast to U.S. dollars, cryptocurrency ownership is usually recorded on a blockchain that uses a few vital components. In the case of Bitcoin, it’s a ledger distributed across every node in the network, encrypted transactions, timestamp server, 

, and the network of running nodes itself. 

Such a setup extends the capability of cryptocurrency beyond just regular money, as you’ll see in the case of crypto tokens. But more importantly, being the first currency built differently, Bitcoin started a big decentralization trend where governments and traditional banks no longer have a say in your privacy.

There are three types of cryptocurrency out there. That includes 

In 2008, an anonymous developer known as Satoshi Nakamoto published a whitepaper describing the first electronic cash independent of governments or banks— 

. Unlike traditional online payment, it promises a lower transaction fee, and it’s completely decentralized. 

There are no physical bitcoins, but only the balances kept on a decentralized public ledger system, known as a 

. These balances of Bitcoin tokens are subsequently kept using 

 to decrypt the encryption. To put it in simpler understanding, the public key is like your bank account number for you to send or receive bitcoin. In comparison, the private key is a secret key for you to authorize a bitcoin transmission.

As a cryptocurrency, Bitcoin is accepted as a means of payment for products sold or services provided that works just like fiat currency. Although it’s decentralized, the most intriguing part of bitcoin is its competitive exchange rate against the dollar attracting potential investors and traders. Despite it not being legally tendered, Bitcoin remains a popular type of cryptocurrency and has inspired many creators to launch their cryptocurrencies, collectively referred to as altcoins. 

 was the only cryptocurrency, but later, other projects started to emerge. Hence, the born of 

? All of them and many others were born out of their native platforms, native blockchains, and all of them were slightly different from the Bitcoin blockchain.

 were mostly developed for the single-purpose use case, to serve as a digital currency that somehow could be better than Bitcoin – at least according to the developers of these projects.

To put it simply, they were made to compete with Bitcoin by changing the rules to appeal to different users. And although some of them do challenge Bitcoin after all these years, ironically, the good old 10-year-old grandpa still 

. Simultaneously, all the other types of crypto coins are popularly styled now as 

Now, crypto tokens are normally developed to kickstart the crypto-related ecosystem. You know, it almost works like bonus miles. You can’t buy a loaf of bread for accumulated miles, but you can buy a plane ticket, and the more miles you have, the better it is for the airline’s ecosystem. The same approach works with crypto tokens!

No worries, you’ll find some practical examples later in the article. For now, just understand that crypto tokens don’t necessarily have their native blockchains and can be easily developed on top of other platforms. Compared to crypto coins that play a currency’s role, tokens often serve a particular function like voting for changes or rewarding people for participating in the network.

Based on which functions crypto tokens serve, they can be segregated into several categories:

One significant difference between ERC20 tokens and all the other token types is that ERC20 tokens are created on top of the Ethereum blockchain. 

 is not even a token but more of a token standard. Say a company decides to launch a dApp, a decentralized app, on the Ethereum platform. For their token to work, they need to produce it in agreement with the ERC20 standard that defines a set of rules.

Hence the tokens below can all be considered ERC20 as long as they are launched on the Ethereum platform. Below we will explore different categories of tokens, and some tokens can be in more than one category as well. 

One way for a crypto trading platform to differentiate itself from its competitors is the variety of currency pairs and

These tokens are value-adding because users can use them to pay fees, buy and sell other cryptocurrencies or power certain operations such as community voting for new coin listings.

Arguably, the best known and most liquid of all exchange tokens is the

Believe it or not, the crypto niche is still centralized. Take Binance for an example; it still belongs to a group of people that contradicts Satoshi’s vision.

 is its aim to steer away from the traditional crypto platforms. The DeFi projects aim to enable users to borrow and lend within a peer-to-peer network, leverage the loans, and “farm” tokens for simply being active.  

Those “farmed” tokens or tokens produced on top of those platforms are DeFi tokens that include but are not limited to

 are used for the purpose of making decisions that will dictate or govern a protocol's future. Token holders have voting power, and thus a say in decisions about new feature proposals and changes to the project's governance system.

There are more and more decentralized protocols that boast on-chain governance that allows governance token holders to influence a decision through the in-place voting systems. As Dapps are on the rise, governance plays an essential part to create a synergy where stakeholders and developers can shape the future of a protocol together through the most transparent discussion and debate. 

token gives its community holders the ability to vote on key changes to the AAVE protocol. That means, if you hold AAVE, you have a say to favour or vote against the proposed changes or an upcoming proposal.

, this type of token could be the next big thing in crypto as soon as regulators worldwide decide how to regulate it. Real World Asset tokens are responsible for real world asset going through “tokenization” – the process that helps turn real-world assets, such as real estate, into digital tokens.

Say, as an investment, you want to purchase a fraction of an apartment in New York, but not a whole apartment because it’s too expensive. You can do so by buying digital assets that can be easily divided. 

Security tokens have been a buzzword for quite some time now, but it takes a good deal of proper regulation and standardization to put them to use. Hence, we haven’t heard much of them.

Anyone who owns PAXG has ownership rights to that gold under the custody of Paxos Trust Company, making it a real-world asset token. 

 made its appearance, and it took off. Crypto projects, sometimes of questionable provenance, were looking to raise money, and for that, often created a new coin as a way to fundraise. To put it in simpler terms, an ICO is a source of capital for startup companies.

Any interested investors can buy into the offering and receive a new crypto token issued by the company as an exchange. Through the fundraising campaign, companies will accumulate enough funds to keep the development process. Whereas these tokens would typically be exchanged for BTC and ETH. Mainly because they are easier to exchange for other currencies, and the market liquidity is usually higher.

Web3 tokens aim to decentralize our current internet infrastructure so that it is owned by the people instead of relying on existing centralized Web2 giants. Web3 tokens will aim to bring a fairer internet standard to everyone. 

 in use today? Google has 63,605 miles and 8.5% of all cables to its name; Facebook – 57,079; Amazon – 18,987; Microsoft – 4,014. These top companies control a significant amount of the submarine cables which make up an important infrastructure of our internet. 

 tokens are tokens developed on top of those crypto platforms that aim to stop this trend. And they reward users of their platforms with Web3 crypto tokens for contributing to the development of the other trend.

For example, with the decentralized project

There are many reasons one would need better privacy in crypto transactions – first as a right to privacy, security investigations, and highly sensitive transactions, although they are also used for crime and scams. 

These cryptocurrencies incorporate different methods of ensuring transaction privacy, e.g. coin mixing, anonymity techniques like CoinJoin, and offline transactions. This is in addition to techniques employed in mainstream crypto e.g. lack of tying real-world names with crypto addresses and blockchain encryption. 

 that are similar to using Ethereum but everything is privacy-enabled by default, such as Secret Network.  

So what are those the best cryptocurrencies that are worth your time and investment? Here’s what we think:
