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.

MetaHash is developing a blockchain platform for creating DApps. Their network has a multi Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism that is designed to increase transaction speeds and block formation times by using all of the nodes on the network.

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.
