Elastos is developing a blockchain-based operating system for the new internet. Elastos wants to reduce the influence of large centralized monopolies such as Google and Facebook, and to allow users to have more control of their online data and identities.
Elastos envisions the internet as the base-layer infrastructure rather than as an application. Their goal is to build a decentralized internet infrastructure that will separate network communications from application computing. By prohibiting applications from having direct access to the network, overall security will be increased.
The Elastos blockchain assigns all users, DApps, and devices their own decentralized ID, and replaces the internet's current TCP/IP protocol with a decentralized protocol that is more transparent and secure.
Elastos has received significant investment from NEO, Foxconn, and several other influential companies. The platform is powered by the ELA token.

Brave Software has developed a cryptocurrency enabled web browser that is designed to change the ad-based revenue models of the internet. The Brave browser is powered by an Ethereum-based token, and revolves around a blockchain-based digital advertising platform. It has the potential to change the existing online media dynamic and better meet the needs of internet users, publishers and advertisers. Users benefit from a faster web experience, publishers can increase their revenue with less cluttered ads, and advertisers will benefit from more transparency and more effective ads. At the core of Brave's platform is the Basic Attention Token (BAT), that enables micropayments between users and publishers. They hope to establish a new revenue model for the web that isn't based on intrusive ads, but on user attention.
