DigitalNote is developing a privacy focused blockchain whose transactions will be resistant to analysis. The network will have a hybrid Proof-of-Work (PoW) and Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism and will be powered by the native XDN coin.

Pirate Chain is a privacy focused cryptocurrency that is based on Komodo's dPoW consensus mechanism. Pirate Chain uses ZK-Snark cryptography to secure transactions that are sent on their anonymous, decentralized network.

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.
