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.

MetaHash is developing a blockchain platform for creating DApps. Their network has a multi Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism that is designed to increase transaction speeds and block formation times by using all of the nodes on the network.

ThunderCore is a Proof of Stake blockchain that is powered by the native Thunder Token. ThunderCore is compatible with Ethereum and is designed to have fast confirmation times. Transactions are verified by consensus nodes that complete a round of voting to confirm transactions in under one second. The network's compatibility with Ethereum is intended to allow developers to easily migrate DApps to the platform.
