DigiByte is a a blockchain platform that places an emphasis on security and block speed. DigiByte has one of the fastest block speeds of any public blockchain and uses an innovative consensus protocol with 5 mining algorithms. This prevents mining centralization and also minimizes the chances of security breaches. DigiByte transactions are limited in size and scope to increase speed, efficiency, and throughput.
DigiByte hopes that these innovations will provide the ideal blockchain infrastructure for a range of applications within the IoT and AI fields, that require a high degree of security and fast block speeds.

Quantum Resistant Ledger is developing an enterprise blockchain platform that is designed to be secure against an attack from quantum computers. The Quantum Resistant Ledger (QRL) implements a more secure type of cryptographic signatures call XMSS. The network has a Proof of Stake consensus mechanism.

Aurora is developing a blockchain platform that is based on a hybrid dPoS and BFT consensus mechanism. Aurora aims to improve overall blockchain performance with better transaction speeds and security features. Aurora has a multi-chain architecture and an Intelligent App Isolation system that are designed to allow for better smart contract execution. The network is currently powered by the Ethereum-based AOA token.
