Benchmark of Distributed Ledger Technologies, more precisely on Smart Contracts

Abstract

Blockchains have revolutionized information systems, evolving continuously in both performance and application sophistication. This paper compares public blockchain performances by examining their technical foundations and practical applications across sectors. Through benchmark analysis of key criteria, we develop hypotheses explaining performance variations. Our goal is to provide insight into this maturing ecosystem whose impact now extends well beyond cryptocurrencies into numerous innovation domains.
