How does Tierion compare to ChainLink and Aeternity Oracle functions, apples to apples?
I'm not extremely familiar with either Chainlink or Aeternity, but they appear to be in a similar space as Tierion. At the end of the day, one of the most important goals for any of these projects is developer adoption and ease of implementation... which are the keys to long term success. I can't speak other projects, but Tierion seems to have kept this in focus with the Chainpoint Logic App, developed in conjunction with Microsoft, nearing launch any day now (

Tierion also scales extremely well, which is necessary for most practical business applications of connecting data to public blockchains. Each node is capable of over 50M proofs per day on relatively cheap hardware (

I have my concerns with the tokenomics behind TNT which is likely the chief reason for its low market cap. It is an issue that hopefully will be cleared up in the near future, as a roadmap is scheduled for release in Q1 2019. However, I suspect since Tierion operates more like a traditional company, they are waiting for further regulatory guidance before they lay their hand on the table... which is understandable, even though the eagerness is killing me inside.
Having said all that, do I think Chainlink is worth over 30x TNT at $190M vs $6M? Or Aeternity over 15x at $90M vs $6M? TNT seems like a pretty solid value in comparison considering their business partnerships.
Here's a pretty good review to check:
