Mixin is a cross-chain payment network for digital assets. Mixin provides a cross-chain solution with built-in smart contracts that facilitates crypto-asset transfers. Developers can also build cross-chain DApps based on Mixin Network protocol.
Mixin also has a messenger that is built on top of their platform and allows users to access their crypto-assets with a phone number and a 6-digit PIN code. Mixin supports Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, Ripple, Sia, and plans on adding more.
The network is powered by the XIN token.

NIX is developing a cross-chain protocol with an emphasis on privacy. Their platform will be powered by the NIX coin, and will allow users to exchange supported coins with atomic swaps. Nix hopes to eliminate the need for centralized exchanges with their DEX manager. The platform is based on the Ghost Protocol, which uses elements of Zercoin, and integrates the Tor network to provide enhanced security and privacy for users. NIX allows developers create and attach their own networks to the NIX network as sidechains. The cross-chain platform has a Proof-of-Work consensus mechanism.
