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.

Bitcoin Private is a community-driven fork of the Bitcoin protocol. It is somewhat unique in that it was created as a result of a privacy-focused co-fork of Bitcoin and ZClassic. Coins were distributed on a 1:1 basis to BTC and ZCL holders. Bitcoin Private (BTCP) uses the same privacy technology as ZClassic (zk-snarks). Transactions are published on a public blockchain, but the sender, recipient and other transactional metadata remain anonymous. Bitcoin Private has a larger block size, and enables anonymous transactions that are more secure than the original Bitcoin protocol.

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.
