I'm trying to understand how to classify Ethereum-like projects: ones where you can create Smart Contracts, DApps and tokens.
I've seen these classifications:
Smart Contract Platforms
Blockchain Platforms
General Purpose Blockchain Platforms
It's confusing because some projects don't conform to all 3 names.
Stellar has smart contracts, but they are not turing-complete, so I guess you can't call it "General purpose Blockchain platform".
Hyperledger Fabric calls their smart contracts "chaincode", so can you call it a "Smart contracts platform"?
Lisk as they say is not a smart contract platform, but in the end it enables smart contracts.
I think "Blockchain platforms" is sometimes used much more broadly, not just for smart contracts platforms.
Wikipedia usually lists these projects as "Blockchain platform featuring smart contracts".
Thank you for your answers.
