ProximaX is developing a NEM-based platform with several on-chain and off-chain protocols. At its core, ProximaX is based on the NEM blockchain, and is designed to be an all-in-one platform for developing DApps. The platform has several parallel layers that are intended to provide decentralized storage, messaging, streaming, and content delivery services. The network is powered by the NEM-based XPX token. ProximaX intends on using a hybrid consensus mechanism for validating value transfers on these layers. Consensus will be driven with a combination of Proof-of-Importance (PoI), Proof-of-Storage (PoSt), and Proof-of-Bandwidth (PoB).

Algorand is a Boston based company that is developing a blockchain network with a Pure Proof of Stake (PPoS) consensus mechanism. Algorand's decentralized platform is designed to enable faster transaction times and remove some of the technical barriers of creating scalable DApps. Algorand was founded by Silvio Micali, a pioneer in the field of cryptography.

CyberMiles is developing a decentralized ecosystem for e-commerce. Their blockchain platform will provide users a library of e-commerce focused smart contracts to develop DApps and will facilitate decentralized settlements between parties.
The Cybermiles blockchain will be optimized specifically for e-commerce exchanges and will maintain records of users' identities, credit histories, and reputation scores. Users will be able to enter into smart business contracts without human intervention.
The CMT token will power the CyberMiles e-commerce network
