Swarm is building a tokenization platform designed to leverage the benefits of blockchain to make it easier to fund and govern a variety of large real world projects. They hope to make it easier to tokenize real world assets, and make them available as investment opportunities. Swarm is also developing the SRC-20 protocol, which will define a common set of rules that a security token must follow, and will give users the ability to create DApps that follow these accepted properties. Swarm is powered by the SWM token.

APEX is building a blockchain infrastructure for consumer applications that will focus on B2C transactions on the internet. Their goal is to provide an enterprise blockchain solution for creating custom DApps that will be used by consumers. The NEO-based network was created by APEX Technologies (formerly Chinapex), an established data technology and AI company. Their network is powered by the NEO-based CPX token.
