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.

The XY Oracle Network is a blockchan-based location verification service. It is designed to be compatible with many devices and across different smart contract protocols. XYO uses innovative cryptographic techniques to combine real-world data with a blockchain-based system that can be used by DApps. The XYO Network was developed by a San Diego based company called XY, that makes GPS and Bluetooth devices. The company is building the network's infrastructure that will consist of location-verifying beacons that will enable smart contracts to incorporate location data. The network is powered by the Ethereum-based XYO token.
