Overview
Modular Blockchain Platform, released by Hyperledger and championed by Intel.

The Tron Protocol aims to host entertainment applications and digital content on a decentralized platform fuelled by the TRX token economy. Developed originally on the Ethereum protocol, Tron has invested significant development effort to create their own, scalable protocol and launch their main net in June 2018.
One of the first commercially viable Finance focused blockchain solutions. Uses 3 core products (xCurrent, xRapid, xVia) in order to facilitate cross border transactions, liquitiy, and payment processing

  Security  
  •  
Security model
SGX / PoET

All transactions are signed by known identities.
Public Blockchain with security features built in.

Lamport digital signature algorithm. Claims to be resistant to quantum computer attacks.

Customized P2P network with data storage encryption, location transparency, source nontraceability

Merkle Patricia Trie data structure
Transactions are confirmed and validated through validator nodes.
  •  
Permissions
Permissioned, Permissionless depending on application

Permissionless
Permissioned
  •  
Privacy
Configrable permissions for any node cluster within the network
Based on zero knowledge proof. Hides the send, receipt address and transfer amount.
Transaction information on the ledger is public, but payment information is not.

  •  
Consensus
PoET
Dynamic, Pluggable Consensus Algorithms
Fast Paxos PoS variant.

Modularity
Modular Architecture. Incorporates IoT Sensors that can broaden the use case.
Similar to Ethereum:
Generic, with DApp and Smart Contract support for wider applications
Yes
  •  
Scalability
1000 TPS. Built to be scalable in the way that consensus algorithms can be changed, applications are separate from the core system, and transactions can occur in parallel.
Currently supports 15 TPS as it is on the Ethereum platform. Will be able to support up to 1000 TPS once main net launches
1500 TPS with potential of tens of thousands through Ripple Payment Channels
