Platform Comparison
How does Unit Network compare to other blockchain platforms for tokenization?
Overview
| Feature | Unit Network | Ethereum | Solana | Polkadot |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Tokenization platform | General-purpose smart contracts | High-throughput smart contracts | Interoperability protocol |
| Token creation | No-code UI | Requires Solidity smart contract | Requires Rust/Anchor | Requires parachain or smart contract |
| Built-in DEX | ✅ Native | ❌ (Uniswap, etc.) | ❌ (Raydium, etc.) | ❌ (HydraDX, etc.) |
| Built-in treasury | ✅ Every token has one | ❌ Must build custom | ❌ Must build custom | ❌ Must build custom |
| Transaction fees | 2% trade fee, free transfers | Gas fees ($1-100+) | Gas fees ($0.001) | Gas fees (variable) |
| Consensus | Substrate PoA/NPoS | Proof of Stake | Proof of History + PoS | Nominated Proof of Stake |
| Smart contracts | No (pallet-based) | Yes (EVM) | Yes (SVM) | Yes (various) |
| Framework | Substrate | Custom | Custom | Substrate |
Key Differentiators
🏦 Treasury-Backed Tokens
Unit Network's killer feature: every token has a built-in treasury that grows with every trade.
🎯 No-Code Token Creation
| Platform | To create a token you need... |
|---|---|
| Unit Network | Click buttons in the app UI |
| Ethereum | Write & deploy an ERC-20 Solidity contract |
| Solana | Use SPL Token CLI or write Anchor program |
| Polkadot | Deploy on a parachain with smart contracts |
💰 Fee Model Comparison
| Platform | Where do fees go? |
|---|---|
| Unit Network | 50% to treasuries, 25% to LPs, 25% to vault operators |
| Uniswap (Ethereum) | 100% to liquidity providers |
| Raydium (Solana) | Split between LPs and protocol |
| HydraDX (Polkadot) | Split between LPs and treasury |
When to Choose Unit Network
✅ Choose Unit Network if you want:
- No-code token creation with built-in treasury
- Automatic value accrual through trading fees
- Transparent, predictable fee structure
- An all-in-one tokenization platform
❌ Choose another platform if you need:
- Complex smart contract logic (DeFi protocols, NFTs, gaming)
- EVM/Solidity compatibility
- Sub-cent transaction fees for high-frequency trading
- Maximum decentralization and censorship resistance
