MOAC is developing a multi-layer blockchain platform that aims to improve transaction speeds and scalability. MOAC's architecture is divided into a main chain and microchains, and uses sharding to improve network performance. This enables an asynchronous smart contract platform that increases the number of contracts that can be processed, as well as transaction speed.
MOAC's development platform allows DApp creators to choose from a variety of consensus algorithms. It also enables cross-chain exchanges of value between different blockchains.

The Nervos Network is an open-source public blockchain ecosystem that is designed to secure multiple assets. Unlike other smart contract platforms that require users to pay transaction fees to help secure the underlying networks, the Nervos Network hopes to create an incentive system that will enable multiple assets to be secured regardless of their price volatility. It does this by capturing the total network value through its native coin the Nervos CKByte, which entitles holders to storage rights on the Nervos blockchain. The network uses a PoW consensus mechanism.

Liquality is developing a cross-chain technology that will allow users to covert Ethereum to Bitcoin, and vice versa with minimal risk and fees, while maintaining control over their private keys. Their interface offers a secure way to exchange cryptocurrencies by using atomic swaps. Liquality is a ConsenSys portfolio company.
