Shiden is in indeed a superior project.
Why Shiden? 1. Shiden received the most Web3 grants and have delivered 5 out of 6.
2. Layer 1 & Layer 2.
- Layer 2 with ZK Rollup and OVM. These are both the Web3 grants. ZKRollup has been delivered. This is very complex to code. OVM is on the way.
3. Supports EVM, WASM & X-VM.
- EVM compatibility is nothing. Every parachain will have this.
- Gavin Wood said WASM is the future. [https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.coindesk.com/polkadot-gavin-wood-webassembly-smart-contracts-evm%3famp=1](

- X-VM is a revolutionary invention. Cross virtual machine between EVM and WASM. Many do not see how important this is now. In the future, you will know.
- Read about X-VM here: [https://medium.com/plasm-network/introducing-x-vm-on-shiden-network-d74368fbd07c](

- A feature that none other has. It aims to incentivize dapp developers to build good dapps. SDN holders can stake on Dapps instead of just validators, and developers can earn block rewards depending on how many SDN is staked on his dapps.

- Bridges to Ethereum, BSC and others are on the roadmap.
6. Operator trading.
- Contract owners can trade smart contracts.
Etc etc.
Many people are not aware about all these simply because they are not bothered to read. Well, most crypto people fall for the hype.
