XMax is creating a developer ecosystem for entertainment DApps. Their entertainment-focused blockchain ecosystem will enable multiple functional sidechains, and will provide a SDK which will make it easier to develop decentralized applications. XMax will also offer a variety of multimedia libraries. The XMax blockchain will have a VRF (Verifiable Random Function) consensus mechanism that will randomly select network users to participate in the verifying transactions.

GoChain is building a blockchain focused on speed and scalability. GoChain's protocol uses a Proof-of-Reputation (PoR) consensus mechanism and will be powered by the GO coin. They hope to significantly improve transaction times and reduce fee with an architecture that will rely on nodes managed by large enterprises. Their marketing materials places a strong emphasis on energy efficiency and reducing the monopolizing influence of large mining operations that have reduced the decentralization of other networks.

Lisk is a blockchain-based platform that allows developers to build and publish their own applications. Lisk uses sidechain development kits, that are written in Javascript, to enable users to create their own blockchain applications according to their needs. Each decentralized App runs on its own sidechain that can be customized, and is connected to the Lisk blockchain, which has a Delegated Proof-of-Stake (dPoS) consensus mechanism. The Lisk network is powered by the LSK coin.
