T‍he Flow Blockchain aims to be a developer-friendly blockchain for a new generation of DApps and digital assets that power them. Flow Blockchain is based on a unique, multi-role architecture, and is designed to scale without sharding, so that it can accommodate consumer applications with more users. The project was created by Dapper Labs, which previously created Crypto Kitties, one of the most popular blockchain collectible projects. Flow is now being used by NBA Top Shot, an officially licensed NBA platform for player related, blockchan-based collectibles. The founders: Roham Gharegozlou, Dieter Shirley, and Mikhael Naayem launched Flow with the goal of simplifying the DApp development experience.
Flow uses a Proof of Stake consensus mechanism. Flow coins are intended to be used as payment for validation services, data and computation, governance, as well as for collateral for secondary tokens that may be created on the platform in the future.

Semux is developing a blockchain platform for creating decentralized applications. Semux's platform is written entirely in Java and is powered by the native SEM coin. It has a Byzantine Fault Tolerant consensus algorithm that is designed to confirm transactions quickly.

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.
