14	Special Features	- Thunder protocol combines any “standard” blockchain—which we will refer to as the slow chain—with an optimistic “fast-path” to process thousands of transactions in a second. - Ethereum smart contracts fully supported. - Transactions confirmed instantly in less than a second.	- First blockchain to implement smart contracts. - First to enable creation of decentralized applications - New implementations: Plasma and Sharding. - Plasma: allows the creation of “child” blockchains attached to the “main” ethereum blockchain to scale out.	- Allows social consensus on protocol updates. - Unlimited scalability. - Can revert state changes and protocol updates. - Freezes undesirable code. - Dapps will be able to run on Windows, Mac, iOS and Android operating systems.	- Agreement on a proposed block is reached while the block propagates. - Fork free. - Use algorithmic randomness to select a set of verifiers who are in charge of constructing the next block of valid transactions.	- Elimination of transaction fees. - True user accounts with usernames, passwords and account recovery. - Web toolkit for interface development.	- New language for smart contracts. - Miners use proof of work to stablish identity. - Uses EC-Schnorr algorith to reduce block signature size.
