The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

A Survey of Distributed Consensus Protocols for Blockchain Networks (2019, methodology): “Moreover, this protocol advocates using FruitChain [93] as the underlying PoW blockchain, which was proposed by the same authors and allegedly achieves better ledger tamper-resistance than Nakamoto’s blockchain.”
When Mobile Blockchain Meets Edge Computing (2017, background): “The consensus guarantees the security and dependability of blockchain systems [3].”
Ouroboros: A Provably Secure Proof-of-Stake Blockchain Protocol (2017, background): “Finally, Fruitchain, [23], provides a reward mechanism and an approximate Nash equilibrium proof for a PoW-based blockchain.”
Hybrid Consensus: Efficient Consensus in the Permissionless Model (2016, methodology): “Hybrid consensus Opt: O(δ) O(λ) ∼ 23 over Fruitchain [48] Worst: O(λδ)”
Casper the Friendly Finality Gadget (2017, background): “The ﬁrst, chain-based proof of stake [1, 2], mimics proof of work mechanics and features a chain of blocks and simulates mining by pseudorandomly assigning the right to create new blocks to stakeholders.”
The Bitcoin Backbone Protocol: Analysis and Applications (2015, positive): “Specifically, in [67] it was shown that it can be used to achieve a type of fairness in terms of rewards while in [8] it was shown that it can be used to increase transaction throughput.”
