Bitcoin Gold (BTG) is a cryptocurrency that began in 2017 as a hard fork of the Bitcoin blockchain. BTG was created to reduce the monopolizing power of dedicated ASIC mining operations within the original Bitcoin network. Bitcoin Gold mining can be done by anyone with a standard computer and provides greater decentralization to the system. The hard fork that created BTG was meant to combat the disproportionate influence and competitive advantage of professional miners.

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.

ZCoin is a privacy focused cryptocurrency built on Ethereum. The ZCoin protocol enables anonymous transactions with cryptography that utilizes Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP). ZCoin increases privacy on their network by using a coin-mixer contract that wraps transactions in a serial number and destroying wrapped coins once they have been redeemed.
Zcoin was the first cryptocurrency to use a Merkle Tree Proof (MTP) as its proof of work algorithm. Merkle Tree Proofs are an innovative solution to achieving network consensus, and can increase transaction time while reducing the centralizing tendency of ASIC mining.
