Abstract
The concept of Decentralized Internet or Web3.0 has gained the audience’s attention and has shown exponential growth. The researcher’s community believes that Web3.0 is the next big step in the progression of the web we know now. Bitcoin whitepaper made Blockchain famous among researchers and developers. Blockchain is the technology that provides Decentralization, Auditabilty, Consistency, and Anonymity. The introduction of blockchain protocols compatible with smart contracts such as Ethereum, Near, Polygon, Solana, etc., makes it easier for the developer to quickly build Decentralized Applications, i.e., Dapps. These Decentralized Applications create Decentralized Internet and an alternative to web2.0. In this research paper, We have extensively discussed the core Blockchain technology inspired by the Bitcoin whitepaper and four Blockchain protocols: Ethereum, Near, Solana, and Polygon. We have distinguished these protocols based on the Consensus mechanism, Level of Blockchain, Speed of Transactions, Smart Contracts, etc.
