Decred (DCR) is a decentralized currency with an emphasis on community based governance. Decred is led by several early adopters of Bitcoin and is designed to implement many of the goals of early Bitcoin idealists. Decred is highly focused on community contribution and governance. Users that contribute to the community can receive compensation for their work and anybody can submit a proposal ti make an improvement to the platform.
Decred has a hybrid Proof-of-Activity (PAC) consensus algorithm that combines the mining of Proof-of-Work (PoW) with the stake verifying model of Proof-of-Stake (PoS). It's designed to incentivize the community to participate and to reward both miners and stake verifiers. When DCR is mined, PoW miners receives 60% of the coins, PoS voters receive 30%, and 10% goes towards the development of the Decred platform.

Ripple is a real-time settlement and remittance network that is designed for the banking industry. Its settlement infrastructure technology has been adopted by a growing list of financial institutions looking to leverage the benefits of distributed ledgers. Ripple's real-time settlement network connects banks and enables cross border settlements and transactions in real-time. The current settlement infrastructure requires many intermediaries, and performing transactions take time and cost money. Ripple provides the underlying infrastructure for banks, and enables these transactions to be executed directly at almost no cost.

FairCoin

FairCoin is based on an innovative blockchain technology, which has been changed in July 2017 from a 'Proof-of-Stake' protocol to a 'Proof-of-Cooperation' (PoC) mechanism. Our currency not only requires less energy and enables faster transactions, but also introduces a certain level of trust and democratic values even on the technical level. Here you find the White Paper and more information about PoC and our FairChains project.

With the support of FairCoop, FairCoin implements fair value exchange on a global level. Our innovative Proof-of-Cooperation (PoC) blockchain mechanism is the unique consensus algorithm developed for FairCoin. It requires much less energy than other blockchains but also enables faster transactions. We are proud that FairCoin now is the the most ecological and resilient cryptocurrency.
