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.

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.

Viacoin is an open source cryptocurrency based on the Bitcoin protocol. Viacoin has a 24 second block time and relatively fast transaction times. It can handle 175 transactions per second without scaling through Segwit or the Lightning Network. The fast transaction times make Viacoin a good option for sending micropayments. The platform also enables users to perform cross-chain atomic swaps between different cryptocurrencies, without a centralized exchange. Viacoin has an Auxiliary Proof-of-Work (AuxPoW) consensus mechanism that allows miners to mine multiple coins, that use the Scrypt algorithms, at the same time. Viacoin's smart contract platform, Rootstock, is compatible with Ethereum smart contracts.
