ARTIS 1.0 <> xDai Chain Comparison
Last updated
The ARTIS 1.0 network will be stopped in April 2022.
ARTIS 1.0 and xDai Chain are very similar on the infrastructure layer. The biggest difference is the use of a single token structure in ARTIS vs. a dual token structure in xDai Chain and the use of the stable token Dai as the native coin in xDai.
The use of a stable coin like xDai has the advantage of a better predictability of transaction fees calculated in Dollar, but it also creates additional friction to get xDai in the first place.
ATS follows the logic of a triple point asset, as it was coined by Bankless. It is a commodity (pay transaction fees), a store-of-value (scarce resource) and a capital asset (needed for staking).
Performance wise these two chains are basically equal.
