Penta is developing a blockchain platform that DApps can be built on. It will have a Dynamic Stake Consensus (DSC) algorithm to confirm transactions. The Penta network is currently powered by the Ethereum-based PNT token.

Asch is developing a commercial blockchain ecosystem with multiple blockchains. The company is creating several SDK's and API's that will help developers build DApps that are based on JavaScript and customized sidechain architectures. The Asch network has a DPoS consensus mechanism that incorporates elements of PBFT for enhanced security.

Tendermint is a consensus algorithm that was created by a company called All in Bits. The open source algorithm is Byzantine Fault-Tolerant and uses an authenticated encryption system to secure transactions. The Tendermint consensus mechanism was developed in 2014 for the Cosmos Network. The Interchain Foundation, which is developing the Cosmos Network, continues to employ All in Bits to support Cosmos.
