Cosmos vs aelf vs RChain
What problem does this service solve?
Cosmos is building a decentralized network of independent parallel blockchains. Their goal is to provide the infrastructure for anyone to be able to make their own blockchain that will be able to operate with others, and will allow transfers of value between them. | Aelf's goal is to be the “Linux system” on the blockchain. Users can create a customized blockchain operating system that can interact across other blockchains. | RChain is building a cross-chain DApp platform that hopes to improve scalablity and speed. |

Company Description
Cosmos is a cross-chain protocol that is working to establish a standardized way for blockchains to inter-operate. It has been called the internet of blocchains. Cosmos is building a standardized protocol for multiple blockchains to operate freely together, and allow transfers of value between them. Cosmos is made up of a network of blocckhains called zones. Each of these zones will be powered by a the Tendermint consensus protocol. Cosmos will act as a hub, that ties the zones together and manages their coordination. The Cosomos token called ATOM was released in an ICO that raised $53 million, but it will not be traded until the platform is launched. | Aelf calls itself a decentralized self-evolving cloud computing network. It is a blockchain operating system that can be customized for development needs. AElf hopes to improve upon current blockchain platforms by emphasizing their unique governance system and sidechain architecture. | RChain is building a cross-chain blockchain platform that hopes to improve transaction speeds and scalability. RChain smart contracts are written in Rholang and are run concurrently on the Rho Virtual Machine. Rholang stands for reflective higher-order language, and supports internal concurrent programming to improve smart contract processing. |
