GoChain is building a blockchain focused on speed and scalability. GoChain's protocol uses a Proof-of-Reputation (PoR) consensus mechanism and will be powered by the GO coin. They hope to significantly improve transaction times and reduce fee with an architecture that will rely on nodes managed by large enterprises. Their marketing materials places a strong emphasis on energy efficiency and reducing the monopolizing influence of large mining operations that have reduced the decentralization of other networks.

The XY Oracle Network is a blockchan-based location verification service. It is designed to be compatible with many devices and across different smart contract protocols. XYO uses innovative cryptographic techniques to combine real-world data with a blockchain-based system that can be used by DApps. The XYO Network was developed by a San Diego based company called XY, that makes GPS and Bluetooth devices. The company is building the network's infrastructure that will consist of location-verifying beacons that will enable smart contracts to incorporate location data. The network is powered by the Ethereum-based XYO token.

IOST (Internet of Services Token) is a blockchain platform that is focused on improving transaction speed and scalability. IOST has a unique Proof of Believability consensus mechanism that is based on past contributions and behavior.
The company claims that their platform will increase security and efficiency compared to other platforms. IOST uses a sharding technique that splits the network into smaller ones and randomly assigns tasks for the nodes on the network.
