Apollo is developing an all-in-one cryptocurrency platform, based on the APL coin. Apollo was created as a fork of NXT, and has a very ambitious plan to integrate a variety of services under one platform, with a strong focus on privacy. Apollo's blockchain is called Hermes and has a Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism. Some of the features that Apollo's marketing materials claim they are working on are: private transactions with IP masking, smart contracts, encrypted messaging, file sharing, a decentralized marketplace, voting system for governance, decentralized data storage, and a wallet with a built in exchange. John McAfee, a notable blockchain enthusiast and antivirus pioneer, joined the project in October 2018.

Bitcoin Cash SV is a cryptocurrency that was created as a result of a hard fork of the Bitcoin Cash blockchain that occurred on November 15, 2018. The central issue that led to the hard fork of Bitcoin Cash was a debate among prominent members of the Bitcoin Cash community regarding block size. A larger block size can improve transaction times, but also lead to greater network centralization. Roger Ver, an influential cryptocurrency advocate, was one of the central figures in favor of keeping the smaller 32 MB block size, while Craig Wright, the chief scientist at nChain, favored a larger 128 MB block size. The division between these two factions led to the hard fork that created Bitcoin Cash ABC and Bitcoin Cash SV.

Bitcoin Diamond is a hardfork of Bitcoin that was created in 2017. Although the network's code preserves much of Bitcoin's original features, it aims to improve transaction speeds by implementing the Lightning network and increasing the storage capabilities of each block. The Lightning Network is a second layer payment protocol that works on the Bitcoin blockchain and is designed to place a large portion of the transaction data outside of the blockchain.
