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.

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.
