About Decred
Decred employs an innovative hybrid proof-of-work/proof-of-stake system that layers security and carefully aligns incentives. This system yields the best of both worlds, making it an order of magnitude more expensive to attack than pure proof-of-work or pure proof-of-stake. Decred’s built-in governance systems empower its community with formal rights to make consensus changes and manage project-level decisions. These systems make Decred adaptable, allowing it to evolve per the will of the stakeholders, resist forks and incorporate new technology over the long run. Decred continuously funds its treasury with 10% of each block reward and employs a flexible contractor model that allows contributors to receive compensation for their work. This makes Decred a sustainable and self-funded decentralized autonomous organization. Use DCRDEX inside Decrediton and vote on four new consensus changes. Upgrade to the 1.7 release now!

Hedera Hashgraph
Hedera is owned and governed by the world's leading organizations. Hedera is the most used enterprise-grade public network for you to make your digital world exactly as it should be – yours. HBAR is the native, energy-efficient cryptocurrency of Hedera that powers the decentralized economy. Whether you're a startup or enterprise, a creator or consumer, Hedera goes beyond blockchain for developers to create the next era of fast, fair, and secure applications. Bitcoin pioneered decentralized infrastructure and Ethereum brought programmability. But earlier proof-of-work blockchains consume massive amounts of energy and process transactions slowly in order to achieve acceptable levels of security. Heavy bandwidth consumption by these technologies leads to expensive fees, even for a simple cryptocurrency transaction. The Hedera proof-of-stake public network, powered by hashgraph consensus, achieves the highest-grade of security possible (ABFT).

Aleph Zero
Privacy-enhancing public blockchain with instant finality. Aleph Zero is built for enterprise, Web 3.0, and DeFi use-cases. Aleph Zero is a proof-of-stake public blockchain. We combined an original, aBFT consensus protocol with a customized substrate stack. Currently, we’re working on enhancing the platform with a privacy framework based on Zero-knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) and secure Multi-Party Computation (sMPC) to empower developers with a unique approach to private smart contracts. During a laboratory test, Aleph Zero’s peer-reviewed consensus protocol (AlephBFT) achieved 89,600 tx/s with a 416 ms confirmation time in a decentralized test setting of 112 AWS nodes spread across five continents. Aleph Zero’s real-world performance, especially under heavy l network load, is yet to be determined. The Aleph Zero Consensus Protocol has been officially peer-reviewed and accepted for publication in the conference proceedings of advances in financial technology 2019.

Nxt
Nxt is an open source blockchain platform and the first to rely entirely on a proof-of-stake consensus protocol. Launched in November 2013 and written from scratch in Java, Nxt is proof that blockchain technology is not only about simple transfer of value but also has the potential to revolutionize many aspects of our lives with the various decentralized applications that can be built with it. Today, Nxt remains one of the most tested and reliable platforms in the industry, influencing numerous other projects. With its many easy to use modular built-in features, Nxt covers most of the dApp use cases and at the same time is perfectly suitable for private blockchain implementations. Nxt was the first to implement a pure proof-of-stake consensus protocol.

Gaya Blockchain
GAYA Blockchain is the UAE’s first Layer-1 blockchain, aiming to unify gaming, social, DeFi, NFT, and real-world asset ecosystems on a single, eco-conscious platform. It uses a Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism and is EVM-compatible, enabling developers to deploy smart contracts and leverage familiar tooling. Its architecture includes a “Cell-As-A-Service (CAAS)” data structure for efficient serialization and propagation. The Gaya Wallet serves as a multichain, non-custodial gateway to the ecosystem, offering fiat on/off ramps, in-app swaps, staking, and a gamified XP system that rewards engagement and may boost airdrop eligibility. GAYA token (GAYA) is the native utility token; it will be used for transaction fees, staking, governance through a DAO, ecosystem incentives, and in-app transactions. The economic model includes a dynamic gas mechanism with partial fee burns to introduce deflationary pressure, and carefully structured tokenomics with vesting schedules.
