ThunderCore is a Proof of Stake blockchain that is powered by the native Thunder Token. ThunderCore is compatible with Ethereum and is designed to have fast confirmation times. Transactions are verified by consensus nodes that complete a round of voting to confirm transactions in under one second. The network's compatibility with Ethereum is intended to allow developers to easily migrate DApps to the platform.

Universa is developing a customizable blockchain platform that will enable real-time transactions, offline smart contracts, and escrow payments. Their network is currently powered by the Ethereum-based UNTP token.

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.
