#2 crypto coin currency by market cap being an open source decentralized blockchain network it's more focused on smarter contract (Dapp) which are computer program which execute agreement automatically with the need of trusted intermediary it's is currently backed by the world of decentralized finance (DeFi), with ETH 2.0 there have been much integration of scalable features in ETH blockchain which includes more staking platform for users fast transaction speed it's also host other coins known as token, it support proof of work along with proof of stake protocol.

Unlike bitcoin and ethereum xrp don't use proof of work consensus instead uses trust validator nodes, a currency run on ripplenet creation of ripple lab company XRP aims to be an alternative to fiat currency which in general they are created to help solve limitations in fiat transaction system xrp coins are issued by ripple lab.

3. Tether (USDT)

USDT does not have its own blockchain instead it's issued by either BTC, ETH and BCH blockchain it's a coin that is pegged with normal USD dollar USDT have one important advantage which includes it's not subject to market liquidity.

>The peg is achieved by the Tether company maintaining dollars in a bank account, and other assets, equivalent in value to the number of circulating tethers. Tether has claimed that the coin is fully backed by USD reserves and similar assets, but some doubt this and Tether’s reserves have never been fully audited by a third party.

4. Litecoin (LTC)

Being one of the oldest coin created in 2011 base on bitcoin blockchain protocol litecoin is degisn to provide it's users more scalability and flexibility in terms of conducting transaction which allows users to mine the coin easier.

Although there are other multiple major crypto coins in the market today this few coin I was able to make research on and hope this article is quite of benefit to someone do stay safe.
