Libra is a blockchain like Ethereum to run smart contracts, backed by other assets so the price is relatively stable. Technically, the project has many benefits to it: A good type theory, has safety and direct evidence, Libra is written in Rust (a Safety-focused, grammediformity language), and is more efficient and scalable than proof of the work system Like Ethereum and Bitcoin. But ideologically, this chain is the opposite of most other blockchain projects.
