Zilliqa is an innovative blockchain platform that is designed to be more scalable as the network grows. Zilliqa's platform is based on the concept of sharding; which involves breaking a large network of computers into smaller decentralized networks.
Zilliqa's goal is to increase transaction rates as its network expands. The platform is tailored towards enabling secure data-driven decentralized apps that are designed to meet the scaling requirements of machine learning and financial algorithms.

QuarkChain is building a blockchain with a focus on speed and scalability. They hope to significantly improve transaction times and reduce fees with an architecture that will rely on a two-layered blockchain and elastic sharding. QuarkChain uses a hybrid Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism that is ASIC-resistant. Transactions are first confirmed on one blockchain layer, and then on the second. The network will be powered by the QKC coin.

NULS is creating a blockchain coding environment that will be easy to use. NULS wants to make a blockchain development platform that will offer a solution for developing decentralized applications, at a lower cost and with less technical knowledge. The company has teams working in several countries and the platform is powered by the NULS token.
NULLS uses modular smart contracts that are flexible and can be customized for business needs. NULLS provides a coding environment where developers can utilize multi-chain mechanisms, cross-chain consensus, and other technical blockchain features with less technical knowledge.
