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.

Komodo is a blockchain building platform that is focused on developing anonymity and security focused solutions. Komodo's platform, which was originally a fork of ZCash, is powered by the KMD token, and enables users to send anonymous transactions. Komodo has a delayed Proof of Work consensus algorithm.
Komodo also operates Chainmakers and Chainzilla; which assist clients in creating their own blockchains, decentralized applications, and initial coin offerings. Komodo also provides services related to wallet integrations and blockchain security.
Komodo held the first ever decentralized ICO and pioneered the concept of a dICO. Their goal is to allow users to more easily build blockchain solutions and decentralized exchanges. They are developing a decentralized ICO (dICO) platform as well as a decentralized exchange platform called BarterDEX.

NEAR Protocol is a decentralized application platform designed to make DApps operable on the web. The NEAR network uses a Proof of Stake consensus mechanism called Nightshade. The NEAR utility token is used for processing transactions and storing data, as well as for facilitating voting for governance issues.
