new subcategory suggestion for "Blockchain"

Open crypto-crack opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Suggestion to add subcategories to

  • Blockchain https://everest.link/category/0x18c98c943fd9aab3e0a277b23350b8b975df85ff/ (also suggesting renaming to "Blockchains", as otherwise can be interpreted as software for blockchain) Reasoning: highest concentration of entries in Software (360 entries, https://everest.link/category/0x7754746f6e72ae79375b982f26093d5b926fe8f0/) and then Blockchain (233 entries), so it seems reasonable to divide this up further, and split up into different Aspects

with Subcategories:

  • Ethereum/EVM-based
  • Bitcoin-based
  • Cosmos-based
  • ... (the technical categorization is probably least controversial in comparison to layer 1, layer 2, ... or generation 1, generation 2, ... etc, while still being useful info)

I think you're right that too many people are tagging things as Blockchain because it sounds like a generic term. That's a good start for a way to split that up. I wonder what the definitive subcategory list should be.

Expanding the list of technical blockchain subcategories:

Ethereum/EVM-based (examples: ETH, ETC, xDAI, POA, EWC, TLN, Lition, Celo, Quorum...) Bitcoin-based (examples: BTC, LTC, BCH, BTG, BTD, ...) Cosmos-based (Cosmos SDK / Tendermint, ...) Substrate-based (examples: Polkadot, Kusama, ...) Solana Tezos Dfinity NEAR Libra Hedera IOTA Cardano Wave ...
