The Solana blockchain uses an innovative Proof of History mechanism to confirm transactions that are recorded on the network. Solana is designed to separate the consensus process from the flow of transactions. This is done with a recursive, verifiable delay function that hashes incoming transactions, and recording information as a function of time. Every node on the Solana blockchain is assigned a cryptographic clock that enables the network to determine the time and ordering of transactions, without having to wait for consensus from other nodes. By separating the process of transaction verification from their recording, a higher throughput is achieved without sacrificing network security.

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

Fantom is developing a smart contract platform based on a directed acyclic graph (DAG). They hope to address the scalability issues of current decentralized platforms. Instead of a blockchain, Fantom's Lachesis Protocol uses a directed acyclic graph to confirm transactions asynchronously. This transaction history is immutable and cannot be modified. The platform's Opera Chain will consist of three layers: an application Layer, Opera Ware Layer, and Opera Core Layer. Fanotm issued an Ethereum-based token in 2018.
