Legend:
–Type = Coin or token. A coin has its own blockchain while a token is deployed on an existing blockchain.
—) ERC20-Token = Token on the Ethereum blockchain
–2nd layer = Lightning network integration/support. Furthermore, second layer solutions to scale the network like Cardano with Hydra.
–TPS = on-chain TPS (transactions per second). The lightning network could scale theoretically unlimited.
–MN = Masternode support/integration
–Proof = POW (Proof of Work), POS (Proof of Stake), POC (Proof of Capacity), POI (Proof of Importance), dPoS (Delegated Proof of Stake)
–Privacy = Project has a privacy feature like RingCT, zk-Snarks, etc.
–Inflation rate = Measured per block
