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.

ZCash is a privacy focused cryptocurrency protocol that enables users to make transactions anonymously. Users to hide the sender, receiver, and amount of every transaction. ZCash has several high profile advisers and investors, including: Roger Ver, Gavin Andresen, and Vitalik Buterin.

Loki is developing a privacy-focused blockchain that will enable private transactions and decentralized communication. The Loki blockchain will be complemented by Lokinet and SNApps. Lokinet will use onion routing to allow users to access the internet privately without revealing their IP address. SNApps are web applications that will be located inside the Lokinet, and will be resistant to censorship. The Loki network is powered by the LOKI coin. It has a Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism. Service nodes, on the network, are paid to process transactions and route the network's traffic and messages.
