Semux is developing a blockchain platform for creating decentralized applications. Semux's platform is written entirely in Java and is powered by the native SEM coin. It has a Byzantine Fault Tolerant consensus algorithm that is designed to confirm transactions quickly.

Nxt is a blockchain platform developed by Jelurida, which is also developing the Ardor blockchain. Nxt's goal is to improve upon existing blockchain platforms with a modular toolset that enables users to create their own digital assets that can be listed on decentralized marketplaces. Nxt also features community driven voting mechanisms and has an architecture that separates the blockchain into parent and child blockchains.
The network is powered by the NXT token and has a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism.
