DAPS, which stands for Decentralized, Anonymous, Payment, System, is developing a privacy focused cryptocurrency. It is currently an Ethereum-based token, but they are planning on releasing their own blockchain to host the project. DAPS uses the Harpocrates protocol to allow users to send and receive DAPS tokens anonymously. DAPS was previously associated with PeepCoin project, but a disagreement between the developers of the project, ended plans for an airswap of the two privacy focused cryptocurrency projects.

Spectrecoin is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency with a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. Spectrecoin uses ring signatures, stealth addresses, and Tor to provide privacy and anonymity.

TurtleCoin is a privacy-focused coin with a short block time. It was created by two developers that call themselves Bebop and Rocksteady. Their goal was to create a cryptocurrency that was focused on community development and did not require a large ICO. Turtlecoin has a short block time of only 30 seconds, and has many of the same privacy features as Monero (XMR). TurtleCoin has a Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism.
