Short Summary of Blockchain Classification （区块链分类小结）

One single block chain with all the transactions abiding by the same rules, such as Bitcoin

‍

System involves in more than one chain with or without a central "master chain"

‍

Homogeneous:
All chains abide by the same rules but with different data, such as Ardor
Heterogeneous:
Each chain could have different rules and different data, such as Cosmos
Hybrid:
Some chains are homogeneous and some chains are heterogeneous, such as Telegram TON

‍

Centralized or multisig notary schemes:
Transactions take place on one chain with the validations carried out on another
main chain or central chain, such as R3 Corda
Sidechains or Relays:
Systems inside of one blockchain that can validate and read events and/or state in other blockchains, such as Rootstock
Hash-locking:
Setting up operations on chain A and chain B that have the same trigger, usually the revelation of the preimage of a particular hash, such as Interledger and Lighting Network
Master Chain using PoS consensus with common API:
This is more general and broader apply of the sidechain technology. Normally sidechain is pegged to a "main" chain such as Bitcoin, whereas systems implementing this is a decentralized network of independent parallel blockchains, such as Cosmos, Polkadot and Telegram TON

‍

‍

所有交易都遵守相同规则的单个区块链，例如比特币

‍

系统涉及多个区块链，有或没有中央“主链”

‍

‍

单一或多重签名公证：
交易在一条链上发生，签名验证在另一条主链或中心链上进行，例如R3 Corda
侧链或中继传递：
一个区块链可以验证和读取其他区块链中的事件和/或状态，例如Rootstock
哈希锁：
在链A和链B上设置具有相同触发的操作，通常是显示特定哈希的预映像，例如Interledger和Lighting Network
采用PoS共识的主链结合通用API：
这是侧链技术更通用和广泛的应用。通常情况下，侧链与比特币等“主”链相挂钩，而此类系统则是一个多条并行区块链互联的分散网络，例如Cosmos，Polkadot和Telegram TON
