XRPL
It uses BFT consensus where every node effectively must agree with 35 permissioned validators hand-picked by Ripple and XRPL Foundation.
And unlike with Hedera validators (which are mostly largecap companies and organizations), most XRPL validators are not strong enough on their own to go against Ripple.

I would encourage everyone to look into Hedera $HBAR, the leading network for mass enterprise adoption of DLT (and it’s not even close)
You literally cannot make a better distributed consensus algorithm than Hashgraph (invented in ~2015). I’m talking on a physical level, the way the computers send information to each other and come to consensus, it’s already maxed out. Period.
Bytes sent between nodes is already at the absolute minimum, with maximum speed, while consensus is also achieved in seconds without sending any additional messages. It also has the literal highest possible security for distributed systems, being the first algorithm in the world to achieve asynchronous Byzantine fault tolerance (aBFT) at scale which means it is completely leaderless - immune to DDoS attacks and MEV exploits. No other networks have this (BFT is a huge downgrade and not at all the same, as it is not leaderless)
Don’t call these buzzwords without first doing your research - these are all real things which are required for actual mass enterprise adoption of a smart contract platform.
I recommend watching the YouTube video ‘Leemon at Harvard’ to learn about the tech. It’s the gold standard. Can’t link it here, though
Happy to answer any questions. Hedera is the 0.01% of alts which will survive and thrive, for many reasons.
