Algorand is a Boston based company that is developing a blockchain network with a Pure Proof of Stake (PPoS) consensus mechanism. Algorand's decentralized platform is designed to enable faster transaction times and remove some of the technical barriers of creating scalable DApps. Algorand was founded by Silvio Micali, a pioneer in the field of cryptography.

Bytom is a Chinese company that is developing a blockchain platform that is specifically designed to register securities and physical assets to the Bytom blockchain. Bytom aims to create a secondary markets for these blockchain registered assets and will allow them to be tokenized.
Bytom is compatible with other platforms and enables high transaction speeds and anonymity.
One of Bytom's key features is its improved PoW consensus algorithm that is compatible with AI-enhanced ASIC chips. This allows for more efficient mining that uses less energy.

BOScoin is a South Korean company that is developing a self-evolving cryptocurrency platform for trust contracts. It uses an embedded decision-making system called Congress Network and has a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. BOScoin is working to construct an algorithm for smart contracts that will ensure binary responses. BOScoin tries to solve this problem of undecidability of smart contracts by using a domain-specific language understandable by the average user. It also tries to mathematically demonstrate the decidability of its smart contracts’ implementation. To do this, they've introduced the concept of Trust Contracts; which are securely executable contracts based on a technology called Owlchain.
