I am not a fan of waves but you are wrong if you say waves are not unique at all, if you are observant of waves you will be able to find lots of unique Waves features like Waves-NG POS which is a consensus algorithm which allows you to do around 100 transactions per seconds, which will make the wave of the fastest decentralized blockchain system in the world, although the popularity of Waves is not as big as ethereum, at least we cannot deny that Waves is also one of the best decentralized platforms that are currently still active and growing like the BSC and ETH platforms.
