Aeternity has a unique combination of infinite scalability, private state channels, built-in trustless oracles, a better smart contracting language (RUST) and a unique hybrid POW/POS mining system that can run on phones in the future. While the project had a rocky start, their track record since them is impeccable and nothing has managed to slow this team down. This team has encountered diversity and only emerged stronger each time. Look at the working testnet and check out the technology roadmap. This will be a project to watch in the next three months.
