TrueChain is developing a secure and scalable blockchain platform with a strong developer community. TrueChain hopes to improve upon current platforms with a hybrid consensus protocol called Minerva. This hybrid model will combine a consensus mechanism based on Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (pBFT) with a FruitChain-based Proof-of-Work protocol. Fruitchain is designed to minimize the incentives of mining pools by decreasing the variance of mining rewards; making the network more decentralized.
TrueChain's architecture also hopes to improve transaction times and reduce fees, by including a sharding mechanism that is locked to Gas fees. The first use cases for their platform will be digital advertising solutions.
The company is backed by several large Chinese blockchain companies, including ZB.com; one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges. digital advertising industry

Infura is a DApp infrastructure provider that was created by ConsenSys and gives developers the tools to securely access Ethereum and IPFS. Their API enables users to set up Ethereum Nodes, and then install, configure, and maintain the Ethereum infrastructure more easily, and at lower cost. Infura was originally created by ConsenSys.

Emercoin is a blockchain-based development platform. It has developed a range of easy-to-use dSDKs (Decentralized Software Development Kits) that can be used to more easily build DApps. This set of software development tools allow the creation of blockchain-based software and services.
Emercoin's dSDKs have been implemented in several innovative DApps and provide developers with solutions for a variety of functionalities. Some of the dSDK's that Emercoin offers are specifically geared for decentralized DNS, SSH, SSL, and DPO solutions.
Emercoin has a hybrid consensus mechanism that combines elements of Proof-of-Stake (PoS) with a Proof-of-Work (PoW) algorithm that is merge-mined with Bitcoin. The network is powered by the EMC coin.
