The Emergence of New Blockchains and Crypto-Assets

Henri Arslanian ()

Chapter Chapter 4 in The Book of Crypto, 2022, pp 99-119 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Since the release of the Bitcoin whitepaper in late 2008, thousands and thousands of new coins and tokens have been added to the ranks of the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem. Whilst the majority of these assets remain marginal in today’s landscape, a number of projects have followed in the footsteps of Bitcoin and Ethereum to carve out and establish their own unique niches within the industry. In this chapter, we explore some of the most significant and impactful crypto assets in circulation today, touching upon everything from the Layer 1 blockchain protocols seeking to challenge Ethereum’s market share to the meme coins like Doge and Shiba Inu that skyrocketed in popularity in 2021.
