Tendermint is a consensus algorithm that was created by a company called All in Bits. The open source algorithm is Byzantine Fault-Tolerant and uses an authenticated encryption system to secure transactions. The Tendermint consensus mechanism was developed in 2014 for the Cosmos Network. The Interchain Foundation, which is developing the Cosmos Network, continues to employ All in Bits to support Cosmos.

Bytom is a Chinese company that is developing a blockchain platform that is specifically designed to register securities and physical assets to the Bytom blockchain. Bytom aims to create a secondary markets for these blockchain registered assets and will allow them to be tokenized.
Bytom is compatible with other platforms and enables high transaction speeds and anonymity.
One of Bytom's key features is its improved PoW consensus algorithm that is compatible with AI-enhanced ASIC chips. This allows for more efficient mining that uses less energy.

QLC Chain, formerly known as QLink, is developing a Network-as-a-Service blokchain platform. It will allow them to provide decentralized network services and serve as a DApp development platform. The QLC network is currently built on NEO but will transition to their own blockchain in the future. The QLC Chain will have a hybrid consensus mechanism called Shannon consensus. It will combine elements of delegated Proof-of-Stake (dPoS) with a regulating mechanism that is designed to encourage participation by more nodes.
