Up to 47 Authority Nodes are all identified eligible organizations, which are elected by other existing Authority Nodes and may be vetoed by Token Stakeholders; Authority Nodes put their reputation and business at risk; At least half of Authority Nodes should be compromised to perform successful attack

No individual or group gains too much control, governance have established Constitution and two independent branches - Token Stakeholders and Authority Nodes; Separation of powers and system of checks and balances ensures governance in the best interests of network consumers; Constitution is designed to avoid plutocracy and forbids paying for votes; Due to transparency and separation of powers it is very hard to obtain significant power by buying votes

Ensured by having Authority Node eligibility criteria, staking-based resource allocation, separation of powers to token stakeholders and Authority Nodes

Equal to Ethereum community, as network is fully compatible with Ethereum applications

TRON

Gas and Token Staking

~ $0.7 USD to reserve bandwidth for average transaction; ~ $0.14 USD/ms/Day - Cost to reserve 1 ms/Day CPU Bandwidth; ~ $3.5 USD/Kb/Day - Cost to reserve 1 Kb/Day Network Bandwidth

TVM/Solidity

Token staking significantly improves app developers and user experience

Potentially equal to Ethereum community, but TRON have many differences and rqeuire more work for Ethereum applications migration

Ensured by having active and reserve super representatives, staking-based resource allocation, but lack of transparency on super representatives operations and their ability to buy votes increase risks of network destabilization

Community-driven, No constitution, token holders approval voting for 27 active Super Representatives, Super Representatives are encouraged to pay for votes; control of the network is very centralized and consolidated by the group of Super Representatives, which might manipulate the network as they wish, network IS NOT SECURE
