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.

RSK is an open source smart contract platform that is secured by the Bitcoin network. RSK is designed to add value and increase the functionality of the Bitcoin ecosystem by providing smart contracts that are compatible with the network's code and can be written in Solidity. RSK smart contracts are powered by the SmartBitcoin (RBTC) which is linked to Bitcoin. (1 RBTC=1 BTC)
RSK developed the RIF Token which is intended to enable users to access a range of DApps within their ecosystem. In September 2019, RSK purchased the Spanish social media platform Taringa with the goal of using the RIF token as an incentive to encourage users to share content.
