Architecture comparison

Look past the headline number.

Speed alone does not make a complete platform. Compare the architectural trade-offs across scale, security, access, storage, runtime flexibility, and application delivery.

We score architectural capabilities using our comparison methodology and feature set. These scores represent our architectural assessment, not independent performance benchmarks.

WHERE ITZA IS DIFFERENT

Capabilities most networks leave to somebody else.

ITZA treats the wider application stack as part of the architecture, reducing dependency on external infrastructure and fragile integration seams.

Application hosting from every node

The interface, its domain, TLS, assets, updates, and backend logic can share the network that executes the application.

Relational data inside the runtime

Contracts get isolated deterministic SQL, including indexed queries and free read paths through simulation.

Infrastructure from edge to enterprise

A cluster can target compact hardware or high-performance servers without changing the protocol model.

Built-in trust and coordination

Identity, KYC, reviews, permissions, escrow, juries, governance, and atomic exchange are protocol capabilities.

Explicit storage lifecycle

Rent, multiple storage classes, pruning, archival replication, and funded permanence keep long-term state accountable.

Configurable public and private modes

Organizations can control validator admission and data access while retaining the same application surface.

NATIVE SURFACE

Built in, not bolted on.

This table compares native protocol support. External services and application-level contracts can extend every platform, but they add separate systems and trust boundaries.
