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.

TrumpCoin is a cryptocurrency that was created to support Donald Trump. Their marketing materials do not provide specific details about what they hope to achieve, or why they need a blockchain-based digital currency. TrumpCoin has a hybrid Proof-of-Work (PoW) and Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism.

Groestlcoin is a blockchain payment protocol with a number of technical innovations and an active developer community. Groestlcoin was the first coin that activated SegWit and supports the Lightning Network. Transaction fees are very low and it claims to have instant payments. It is also one of the only coins that can be sent over SMS.
Groestlcoin's active developer community has made the payment protocol very adaptable, and it a popular coin among many crypto investors. Groestlcoin has an ASIC resistant Proof-of-Work consensus mechanism.
