Nasdacoin is developing a blockchain with a hybrid consensus mechanism that combines elements of Proof-of-Work (PoW) and Proof-of-Stake (PoS). Nasdacoin uses the Scrypt hashing algorithm and is powered by the NSD coin. The company plans on developing a comprehensive ecosystem with a native exchange, wallet, App, and marketplace. They also plan on allowing Nasdacoin holders to transfer their NSD balance to a Visa card that can be used anywhere.

GAS is the token that is used to pay for transaction fees on the NEO network. The NEO platform uses two different tokens; GAS are used to fuel the network and give holders the right to use the NEO blockchain. Similar to Ether on the Ethereum network. Although it's possible to buy GAS on some exchanges, NEO token holders automatically generate GAS as the blockchain increases in size. 8 GAS are distributed for every 100 million NEO in circulation.

Primecoin is a cryptocurrency based on finding prime numbers. Identifying prime numbers plays a central role in cryptography. Primecoin's unique Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism is able to increase transaction speeds and improve energy efficiency.
The network searches for special prime number chains known as Cunningham chains and bi-twin chains, which are of interest in mathematical research.
