Gulden is a Dutch cryptocurrency based on a native blockchain with a Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism. Gulden has gained traction in the Netherlands, where it can be used to make P2P payments, as well as send funds to an IBAN account. Gulden's marketing efforts emphasize the network's security and faster transaction times. Gulden's PoW² consensus combines aspects of PoS with PoW, and allows witnesses to add transactions to blocks after they have been mined. The network is powered by the NLG coin.

PLATINCOIN is a Proof-of-Stake coin that is minted instead of mined. Users participate in managing the network by renting hardware space from the project organizers for a period of 36 months. These computing resources will drive the PoS consensus, and the users that rent the hardware will be rewarded with newly minted PLC coins.
