# Ethereum vs Proprietary Token Solutions - Comparison Summary

#### **Ethereum vs Proprietary Token Solutions - Comparison Summary:**

| Feature                    | **Ethereum**                                    | **Proprietary Blockchain**                                          |
| -------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Customization**          | Limited to existing standards (ERC-20, ERC-721) | Full control over token logic and ecosystem design                  |
| **Interoperability**       | High (widely supported by exchanges and dApps)  | Lower, unless integrated with Ethereum or other blockchains         |
| **Scalability**            | Limited, though improving (Ethereum 2.0)        | Fully controllable, better suited for specific use cases            |
| **Security**               | Strong, decentralized network                   | Depends on governance and design, may be more centralized           |
| **Privacy**                | Public ledger, no direct privacy controls       | Can implement privacy features (private or permissioned blockchain) |
| **Transaction Fees**       | Gas fees, can be high during congestion         | Lower transaction fees with control over the network                |
| **Development Complexity** | Easier (lots of tools and community support)    | More complex, requires dedicated development and maintenance        |
| **Ecosystem Support**      | Large, thriving developer ecosystem             | Smaller ecosystem, potential for limited support                    |
