Holo is a decentralized hosting provider that is built on top of Holochain. DApps can be set up and deployed with Holo hosting, as a decentralized alternative to Amazon Web Services, or other centralized hosting solutions.
Holochain is a protocol for creating decentralized Apps and is different from blockchain protocols in several ways. The main difference being that Holochain takes an agent-centric approach to their consensus mechanism, and has a different approach to validating value transfers.
The HOT token is used for paying for hosting services on Holo, and users can be paid for offering their computing resources.

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.

Parity Technologies is an influential blockchain development company that offers a variety of open-source software solutions for creating and using decentralized technologies.
