Haven is developing a blockchain-based ecosystem of multiple decentralized coins. The Haven protocol places an emphasis on privacy and price-stability, and like Monero, is based on the CryptoNote protocol. Haven has a Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism that is AISC-resistant, and has a dynamic block size. The platform is powered by the XHV coin.

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.
