Comparing coins like cosmos, blocknet, uniswap and other projects like these.

[Joe-Bloggs]

Looking at some comparisons between these coins with dex solutions. and discussing with various developers these projects are similar but most agree that Blocknet is technically as good if not better?

Who here has analysed these and why is Blocknets cap microscopic in comparison.
Let's have a fair and entirely open discussion and comparison.

Blocknet was the first to attempt an atomic swap dex or was there any that preceded that?
I would like to hear from any members who have investigated or invested in

Uniswap
Blocknet DX
Cosmos

Other similar projects.

Are there any developers that can give their thoughts?

I have a small portion of each of these now.  

Why does it often seem that the best design is overlooked and people essentially will pay 100x more for something inferior or no better?

Is it purely awareness?

All opinions are welcome but only discuss coins that offer similar functionality please.

My take is that Blocknet was difficult to trade with, especially with limited hardware running three UTXOs simultaneously. Thats barrier has been lessened by magnitudes with the release of XLite wallet, so all things being fair I believe volume will pick up.

Bitcoin new ATH! Market manipulation is bad except when Elon does it haha

Here's how I understand these alts.

Polkadot has a sharding model with multiple chains. Running multiple chains require multiple coordinators that ensure smooth operating that facilitates transactions. They've solved it by establishing two different types of chains—the relay chain and parachains.

Cosmos is a network of blockchains that support the development of decentralized applications. Meanwhile, they have two types of blockchains... Hub and Zones.

Blocknet.. A cross-chain peer-to-peer protocol that allows nodes on separate networks to communicate and execute both value and data transfers. Atm, there are thousands of blockchains that currently exist. Many of these chains are unable to communicate. Just as the internet-connected computers, the Blocknet Protocol is critical for blockchains to communicate and realize full potential. Meanwhile, Blocknet comprises three core components, which function together as the foundation of a general-purpose.. XBridge, an inter-chain network overlay, XRouter, a blockchain router, XCloud, a p2p data transport.
