TrustSQL is the BaaS pltafrom that the Chinese technology giant, Tencent, is building. Tencent's BaaS platform is designed to provide all the tools necessary for developing blockchain applications. Tencent hopes to utilize its enormous market share in the Chinese internet market to become a player in this quickly growing field. The company is competing against Alibaba and Baidu in a large number of industries, and blockchain will be another sector for them to engage in. The company released a whitepaper, in 2017, that outlined their plans but they have yet to bring on a significant amount of clients.

IBM's platform has a number of unique features. These include, a pluggable architecture that allows developers to use software modules and a new consensus algorithm, that IBM developed, and is tailored to specific use cases. It also enables cryptographic identity management and smart contracts that can be written in popular programming languages, such as Java, and then executed in containers.
IBM is also involved with the Linux Foundation’s open-source Hyperledger Project, which was created to help developers easily build secure distributed ledgers that can be used to exchange almost anything of value.
