The Amp token is a digital collateral token that is specifically designed to enable the decentralized collateralization of digital asset transactions. It evolved from what was previously known as the Flexacoin network, and is meant to allow the token to better facilitate recent innovations related to borrowing and lending in the DeFi space. The Amp token's supply was created by burning the existing supply of Flexacoins, which were exchanged for the new token at a rate of 1:1. Amp will improve upon Flexacoin’s collateralization features with a new architecture that will allow for the implementation of additional on-chain supply operations and more collateral-related DeFi options.

NEM is a cryptocurrency and blockchain platform that allows multiple ledgers on the same blockchain. NEM Smart Assets are used to create mosaics for any asset. Transaction fees are paid with NEM's native currency, XEM. NEM originally began as a community-oriented cryptocurrency that was built from the ground up in the Java programming language.
NEM's goal is to achieve widespread distribution through improved scale and speed. It pioneered several blockchain features such as its proof-of-importance (POI) consensus algorithm, encrypted messaging, a unique reputation system, and multi-signature accounts.
NEM is also developing a commercial blocckahin called Mijin, that is currently being tested by several companies and financial institutions.
In early 2018, approximately $400 million worth of XEM were stolen from a Japanese exchange called Coincheck, that was the victim of huge hack. The exchange failed to implement proper security for this coin protocol, and the hackers only stole XEM coins as a result. Instead of creating a fork to deal with this issue, NEM set up an automated tagging system that flagged these funds. NEM then stopped tracking these stolen coins
