Fantom is developing a smart contract platform based on a directed acyclic graph (DAG). They hope to address the scalability issues of current decentralized platforms. Instead of a blockchain, Fantom's Lachesis Protocol uses a directed acyclic graph to confirm transactions asynchronously. This transaction history is immutable and cannot be modified. The platform's Opera Chain will consist of three layers: an application Layer, Opera Ware Layer, and Opera Core Layer. Fanotm issued an Ethereum-based token in 2018.

BlockMason is a technology company that provides users with a blockchain base-layer for creating DApps. The Blockmason Credit Protocol provides a standardized smart contract platform for recording credit and debt obligations on the blockchain. Their network is powered by the Ethereum-based BCPT token. BlockMason also created Lndr, which is a peer-to-peer bill-splitting and expense-sharing App that is available on iOS and Android.

The Matic Network is a sidechain based scaling solution for public blockchains. Matic aims to allow developers to better scale their Ethereum DApps by using a version of Plasma, along with side chains that use a PoS consensus mechanism. Matic plans on supporting other blockchains as well in order to facilitate interoperability.
