GINcoin is designed to be a masternode-facilitating blockchain and coin. It lowers the technical requirements to set up a masternode on any blockchain. GIN can also be used as a DApp development platform. GINcoin uses a Delayed Proof of Work consensus algorithm to verify transactions.

VestChain is developing a smart contract platform that will have a double layer architecture. Their network is currently powered by the Ethereum based VEST token.

NEO, formerly known as AntShares, is one of the leading smart contract enabled blockchain platforms that allows for the development of digital assets. Similar to Ethereum, NEO uses two different tokens: NEO and GAS, each of which have a specific purpose on the network. NEO tokens give holders a share in the ownership of the NEO blockchain, and when they are held in a compatible wallet, they are rewarded with GAS tokens. NEO has a Delegated Byzantine Fault Tolerance (dBFT) consensus algorithm that has uses some features of PoS, and is designed to be more scalable than other consensus mechanisms.
