Smartshare is developing a blockchain-based network to connect devices in the Internet of Things. Smartshare's distributed network protocol uses blockchain and smart contracts to enable exchanges of data between devices on their network. Smartshare is powered by the Ethereum-based SSP token.

Oyster is a blockchain-based platform that is designed to provide both a decentralized file storage solution and an alternative ad revenue system for content distribution. Their network is powered by PRL tokens. Oyster hopes to allow users to store data anonymously and securely on the IOTA Tangle. It uses IOTA’s infrastructure for hosting data stored on the Oyster platform. A data file is broken into chunks, and each of these chunks is encrypted. These encrypted chunks exist as transactions on the IOTA Tangle and are retained on the Tangle.
Oyster's alternative ad revenue platform will use this decentralized data storage network to incentivize users to contribute their devices' computing resources.
