For some reason I thought Ethereum was different than a flavored blockchain, but I guess it's just the branding/dev ecosystem that is different.
Ethereum is the most expensive computational environment you can imagine. However, it is also the highest trust. Its not for computationally-limited (gaming/data analysis) its for trust-limited (financial applications/privacy)
There is an effort to build a computation market on top of Ethereum, but the computation happens off the chain.
