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.

Smartlands is a Stellar-based tokenization platform designed to let users create tokens for a variety of use cases. The Smartlands platform will allow token issuers to manage many legal, compliance, and due diligence procedures. It will also enable tokens to be backed by collateral and held in escrow by a custodial service. Tokens created on Smartlands will be traded on their decentralized exchange that will be powered by the SLT token.

FLO is a Proof-of-Work blockchain with a metadata layer called floData. It enables users to easily record notes to its blocks, and can be used to create DApps. One of FLO's central features is the Open Index Protocol, which standardizes cryptographic ownership on open networks. The founders of FLO are also working on Alexandria; an open-source standard for users to publish and distribute original content. FLO's source code is based on that of Bitcoin and Litecoin. It is designed to enable fast transactions times.
