NULS is creating a blockchain coding environment that will be easy to use. NULS wants to make a blockchain development platform that will offer a solution for developing decentralized applications, at a lower cost and with less technical knowledge. The company has teams working in several countries and the platform is powered by the NULS token.
NULLS uses modular smart contracts that are flexible and can be customized for business needs. NULLS provides a coding environment where developers can utilize multi-chain mechanisms, cross-chain consensus, and other technical blockchain features with less technical knowledge.

The Elrond blockchain platform is designed to be a public development infrastructure that will be more secure, efficient, and scalable than other blockchain platforms. The Elrond blockchain is aimed at DApp developers and enterprises. Elrond will have a Prof of Stake consensus mechanism, and will include an Adaptive State Sharding feature that will allow multiple validators to process transactions in parallel.

QuarkChain is building a blockchain with a focus on speed and scalability. They hope to significantly improve transaction times and reduce fees with an architecture that will rely on a two-layered blockchain and elastic sharding. QuarkChain uses a hybrid Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism that is ASIC-resistant. Transactions are first confirmed on one blockchain layer, and then on the second. The network will be powered by the QKC coin.
