The Elrond blockchain platform is designed to be a public development infrastructure that will be more secure, efficient, and scalable than other blockchain platforms. The Elrond blockchain is aimed at DApp developers and enterprises. Elrond will have a Prof of Stake consensus mechanism, and will include an Adaptive State Sharding feature that will allow multiple validators to process transactions in parallel.

Hedera Hashgraph is a blockchain network that was designed to allow developers to create DApps that require higher throughput and faster settlement. Hedera uses its own consensus protocol that assigns every transaction a consensus time that is calculated as the median of the times at which each node in the network first received it. The network is powered by the HBAR coin.

Celer Network is developing a layer-2 scaling platform that aims to enable fast and secure off-chain transactions and off-chain smart contracts. The Celer Network hopes to enable developers to create scalable DApps by increasing the off-chain functionalities of blockchains.
