The Smart Contract Battle

Codious, a smart contract platform was recently revived after some months of inactivity. The contract platform has an existing relationship with several cryptocurrencies like Tron, Cardano, and Ethereum.

Codious empowers these coins to do whatever they desire to do. Stellar also has a smart contract platform. The Bitcoin team has also tried to initiate a smart contract platform which has failed woefully due to its sluggishness. Ethereum and Xios are the two most widely used smart contract platform presently.

However, with Ripple and XRP, people expect Codious to dominate because of Ripple crazy transaction speed. Although no one can say authoritatively when Codious combination with Ripple/XRP will be officially launched and fully developed. When it eventually kicks off, it is expected to be the fastest smart contract platform in the world.
