FOAM is developing a blockchain-based location service protocol for embedding physical locations in Ethereum smart contracts. The FOAM network will use radio beacons and will provide incentives for decentralized location services that will be given by network participants. Users will stake tokens to become zone anchors, that will work with radio beacons to return location data to the network. FOAM's Proof of Location protocol will be used to confirm consensus on the location of objects and entities in space and time.

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.

APEX is building a blockchain infrastructure for consumer applications that will focus on B2C transactions on the internet. Their goal is to provide an enterprise blockchain solution for creating custom DApps that will be used by consumers. The NEO-based network was created by APEX Technologies (formerly Chinapex), an established data technology and AI company. Their network is powered by the NEO-based CPX token.
