Already, the computationally heavy distributed
application Golem, a market for CPU and GPU power, intends to use TrueBit, as opposed to the ethereum blockchain.
Further, the proliferation of new decentralization
application platforms and independent blockchains has added additional difficulty to surveying the universe of tokens, as investors must not only analyze the
application or system (like augur or
golem), but also the base protocol or infrastructure layer (like ethereum, waves or lisk) in numerous cases.
