For the 2026 bullrun, I pick Internet Computer (ICP) and Hedera (HBAR).
ICP: Blockchain platform for decentralized web services, smart contracts, and AI at scale. Solves centralization in cloud computing by enabling secure, tamper-proof hosting of apps and data.
HBAR: Distributed ledger using hashgraph for fast, low-cost transactions. Solves scalability in blockchains by offering high throughput and security for enterprise use like payments.
Comparison: ICP emphasizes full decentralization for web/AI, while HBAR prioritizes transaction efficiency. ICP has broader capabilities, encompassing HBAR-like transactions plus advanced compute and storage.
