pTokens are digital assets that are transparently pegged to another underlying asset. pTokens serve as a Cross-Chain token wrapper that allows users to more easily transfer value between different blockchains. Users can deposit a certain amount of the underlying asset (such as BTC or EOS) and request the equivalent pTokens that are pegged to them 1:1, such as pBTC or pEOS. Token holders can then take advantage of the Ethereum network by more easily exchanging them into ERC-20 tokens.

Zipper is developing a cross-chain messaging and transaction network. It's powered by the ZIP token. The company is backed by Qtum, OKEX, and other established blockchain companies.

Seele is developing a blockchain ecosystem that will consist of subnets optimized for different use cases. Seele's Forest Network will have subnets that will operate independently and can interact with each other through cross-chain and cross-domain protocols. Seele has a neural consensus algorithm that was inspired by the inner workings of the human brain. It asynchronously processes and sorts data in a large-scale decentralized environment, using ε-differential agreements to allow all nodes within a network to reach consensus. Compared to existing consensus algorithms, it ensures greater fault-tolerance and is significantly more efficient. Its performance also scales linearly as network size increases, allowing it to be widely adaptable to many different use cases.
