Also take a look at Polkadot / Kusama and their use of Parachains.

Parachains are basically L-1 chains developed via Polkadot's SDK Substrate with their own design and can be run on public or private networks with separate token economy and governance model. The advantage of it is that it is also by default Polkadot cross-chain compatible. Using the Polkadot's architecture, once connected to the Polkadot's network, parachains can communicate with each other and exchange any info, credentials, their own native tokens and smart contract calls.

Difference between Kusama and Polkadot is that Kusama is faster, easier to deploy a parachain and costs less to bind a parachain to main network. Mostly for development and testing purposes.

Not everyone can deploy parachain on Polkadot, there are slots in intervals, for that a parachain has to be chosen.

A while ago we had a look at https://immudb.io/, I liked the idea & what they are doing + they claim to be GDPR compliant which is a plus.

Certain features to pay attention to when choosing an alternative (open for debate):
