MetaHash is developing a blockchain platform for creating DApps. Their network has a multi Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism that is designed to increase transaction speeds and block formation times by using all of the nodes on the network.

ChainLink is developing the LINK Network, which will enable connected smart contracts. LINK will provide smart contracts with a variety of external data and access to APIs. ChainLink's goal is to solve the connectivity problem that plagues smart contract based systems, and discourages mass adoption. Many decentralized applications are unable to connect with important external data sources due to limitations involving their consensus protocols. The LINK network wants to connect their smart contracts with external systems and APIs by using secure middleware.

The UMA token is used to enable holders to participate in community governance issues and to help resolve contract disputes on the UMA platform. UMA is designed to be a decentralized financial contracts platform, and is an abbreviation of Universal Market Access. Their goal is to build the financial infrastructure that will make creating decentralized financial services easier. UMA provides a variety of smart contract templates as well as a decentralized oracle that can be used to validate payouts related to financial contracts.
