Dero is developing a Proof-of-Work (PoW) blockchain with a DAG block structure. Their goal is to enable anonymous and fast transactions, with a high degree of encryption. The platform will also have smart contract functionalities.

Bytecoin is a privacy focused blockchain that aims to be completely anonymous. It is the first digital currency based on CryptoNote technology and uses ring signatures. Bytecoin utilizes one-time addresses and multi-signatures to enhance security. Bytecoin has high transaction speeds and users are in complete control their personal information. Any identifiable details can only be seen if you allow it. Bytecoin, and CryptoNote, have led to several popular forks. Monero and Dash are both Bytecoin forks. The CryptoNote Proof-of-Work (PoW) algorithm was designed to provide ASIC resistance and enables anyone with a personal computer to mine it.

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.
