Credits is building a blockchain platform focused on speed and scalability. Credits' protocol uses a Delegated Proof-of-Stake (dPoS) consensus mechanism and will be powered by the CS coin. They hope to significantly improve transaction times and reduce fees.

Asch is developing a commercial blockchain ecosystem with multiple blockchains. The company is creating several SDK's and API's that will help developers build DApps that are based on JavaScript and customized sidechain architectures. The Asch network has a DPoS consensus mechanism that incorporates elements of PBFT for enhanced security.

The Solana blockchain uses an innovative Proof of History mechanism to confirm transactions that are recorded on the network. Solana is designed to separate the consensus process from the flow of transactions. This is done with a recursive, verifiable delay function that hashes incoming transactions, and recording information as a function of time. Every node on the Solana blockchain is assigned a cryptographic clock that enables the network to determine the time and ordering of transactions, without having to wait for consensus from other nodes. By separating the process of transaction verification from their recording, a higher throughput is achieved without sacrificing network security.
