I basically want to know what are the features provided by MultiCoin like what proof of work algorithm it uses, in how much time a new block is generated etc and in what way it is different from Ethereum blockchain?

Best answer
MultiChain uses distributed consensus (mining diversity) for private chains rather than proof-of-work, and unlike Ethereum it is focused on specific common blockchain use cases rather than general-purpose computation. You might find it helpful to read the white paper:
