Compare MARBLE with Ethereum, BNB Chain, Cosmos, Solana, and Ripple (XRPL) from the technology side: consensus, execution model, finality, fees, and developer architecture.

PoH (blake3+sha512), Ed25519 block signatures and the blake3 state root are live on the testnet today. Throughput runs on USLHYPER™ — hypertransactions over seeding p2p nodes: ultra-light transactions aggregated into batch-authorized hypertransactions, executed in parallel by sharded seed nodes. The 1.88M TPS figure is the measured engine result (real balance execution with verified supply conservation, benchmarked on a 4-core machine, no projection). 307,000 TPS is the network target; live-node integration and BFT finality are in progress.

Scores reflect engineering maturity, not market price. MARBLE is a young testnet: technically ahead on its new transaction stack (USLHYPER™ + blake3+sha512 PoH + Ed25519), behind on adoption and decentralization. Finality/BFT and decentralization rise as live-node integration and the seed-node fleet roll out.
