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.

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.

Bytecent is developing a decentralized rewards network powered by blockchain. Bytecent allows merchants to create customer loyalty programs that are cross-site and cross-platform compatible. Consumers are not restricted to using their rewards with just one merchant, and can redeem them anywhere Bytecent is accepted. In addition to secure transactions and portability, Bytecent never expire and there are no limitations on how many Bytecent you can accumulate or spend. BYC can be converted to Bitcoin, cash, and gift cards. Bytecent uses a variation of Proof-of-Work (PoW) for consensus that requires miners to manually attend to their computers and is called Proof-of-Miner (PoM). It's designed to prevent the use of advanced and autonomous mining hardware. Avanquest Software, a leading developer of consumer software, has implemented Bytecent for their rewards program.
