ConsenSys is one of the most influential blockchain technology companies. They are working on a variety of projects to create the infrastructure and applications that will enable scalable adoption of blockchain-based systems. The company's efforts are focused on the Ethereum ecosystem, and include divisions working to advance technology development, establish industry standards, and provide consulting, marketing, and education services.

ARK, which is a fork of Lisk, is developing an interconnected blockchain ecosystem that will make it easier for users to develop their own blockchains. Ark emphasizes interoperability and usability. Their moto is “Point.Click.Blockchain” and their goal is to allow for easy deployment of DApps. Ark's "push button blockchains" can be easily created with minimal programming knowledge. Ark also hopes to encourage adoption by developers by accommodating 18 different programming languages.
Ark has a delegated Proof-of-Stake (dPoS) consensus mechanism. Their governance model allows users to vote for delegates that secure the network. The top 51 delegates voluntarily share there tokens with their voters.
Ark contract execution service (ACES) connects ARK with other blockchains and will enable exchanges of value between them.

XinFin is a blockchain technology company that has developed the XDC protocol. XinFin's hybrid blockchain enables peer-to-peer contracts on a regulated payment infrastructure. Their goal is to create an open source marketplace platform that will reduce inequalities in global finance.
The XDC blockchain is built upon Quorum, a permissioned blockchain developed by J.P. Morgan. Quorum was developed as a layer upon the Go implementation of the
Ethereum protocol. XDC's consensus mechanism allows for new blocks be created in a two-step process. In the first step, the transactions to be included in the new block are voted upon by all participating nodes. In the second step, one node is selected as the leader or block maker randomly. The block maker node then creates the new block.
XInFin is powered by the XDCE token.
