Umee
Simplest way to start your DeFi experience for staking, rates, and interoperable solutions across blockchains. Umee is a layer one blockchain for cross-chain communication and interoperability, built on the Cosmos SDK and powered by Tendermint Consensus along with a self-sovereign validator network. Interoperability is achieved using Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol (IBC), Gravity bridge, and decentralized infrastructure for creating a universal cross-chain DeFi hub toward expanding the crypto ecosystem. A DeFi platform designed towards integrating with money legos, that interconnects crypto markets across networks, allows for the development of open finance innovation including multi-chain staking, interchain leverage, and cross-chain interest rates. As a base layer blockchain, applications and money lego primitives can be built on top of Umee to access cross-chain leverage and liquidity.

Kadena
Kadena’s public blockchain is a braided, high-throughput Proof of Work system that improves throughput and scalability while maintaining the security and integrity found in Bitcoin. Kadena uses its native token, KDA, to provide a secure and scalable means of providing virtual currency. Furthermore, Kadena serves as a way of sharing data and is implemented across various industries: finance, health care, insurance, and more. Kadena’s main net is now fully accessible for public mining. You can find the latest release on our Chainweb-node GitHub Project and watch the mining of the parallel chains in real-time through Kadena’s Block Explorer. We also released our Testnet Portal, a one-stop shop where you can download our testnet wallet, get testnet coins, play a game, and have fun interacting with our blockchain! Kadena’s public blockchain is a massively parallel protocol that brings efficiency to Proof of Work.

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.
