Launched by a team of 20+ on 01/11/2017, Apollo views itself as a direct competitor of the top 20 cryptocurrencies on the market, reportedly combining the features of most of them into one decentralized platform. 

Apollo views itself as unique in that its transaction speed is 1-2 seconds. Apollo claims to not suffer from blockchain sustainability issues, such as blockchain bloat. Nearly every blockchain on the market grows in size as its transaction speeds get slower. Apollo reportedly gets faster the more users that are on the system and its database can reportedly grow to unlimited sizes due to technologies incorporated into it, such as sharding, adaptive forging, and node time synchronization. 

Apollo views itself as one of the first sustainable blockchains on Earth.

Nimiq is designed to make cryptocurrencies easy to use for everyone without compromising decentralization. Nimiq is the only blockchain where users always participate directly by default. In comparison to the likes of Bitcoin and Ethereum where the default is to use a third-party node to connect to the network. Learn more: https://youtu.be/dA40oyDVtqs

Team Nimiq invented Nimiq OASIS, the DeFi crypto-fiat bridge! Atomic swaps between crypto like NIM and BTC (ETH coming soon) and fiat currencies like EUR (USD next) with no personal information are now possible. Earned swap fees are converted to NIM and held to create scarcity. See how it works: https://youtu.be/Spp_Be4dHaM

Nimiq created Albatross, a new, super fast Proof-of-Stake consensus algorithm that will launch with Nimiq 2.0, the next version of the Nimiq Blockchain. We expect ~1000 TPS and finality in one second, pushing Nimiq 2.0 to the theoretical limits of single chain blockchain protocols. Energy consumption will also be reduced to less than 1% (compared to current Nimiq POW) with this upgrade. Try out the demo: https://www.nimiq.com/albatross/

Nimiq’s “super-halving” coming soon! The transition to Nimiq 2.0 will reduce the emission rate from currently ~3000 NIM to only ~525 NIM per minute. Calculate your rewards using the Staking Calculator: https://www.nimiq.com/staking-calculator/

Kin is a decentralized cryptocurrency that was created in 2017 by Kik Inc.

Kin was initially launched on the Ethereum blockchain. In 2020, Kin migrated to the Solana blockchain in order to achieve lower transaction fees and greater scalability.

Notably, Kin has zero inflation. The Kin supply is fully distributed and no additional Kin tokens will enter circulation.

In 2020, Kik Inc agreed to a mutual settlement with the United States SEC in which Kin was not required to be registered as a security, making it one of the few cryptocurrencies with such regulatory clarity.

Hifi (formerly Mainframe) is a Lending Protocol that allows anyone to borrow against their crypto. Hifi uses a bond-like instrument, representing an on-chain obligation that settles on a specific future date. Buying and selling the tokenized debt enables fixed-rate, fixed term lending and borrowing — something much needed in decentralized finance today. It is anticipated that a ticker symbol change will occur alongside future iterations on the Hifi Lending Protocol.

Mainframe Token (MFT) is the native utility token that is used for:

Governance votes

Staking to ensure the safety of the protocol

Rewarding contributors to the ecosystem

What can you do with the Hifi Lending Protocol:

Borrow:  Lock collateral in a vault to mint fixed-rate, fixed-term debt tokens.  These debt tokens can be swapped for instant liquidity allowing users to leverage long, yield farm, or pursue other strategic trades without selling their collateral tokens.

Lend:  Buy fixed-rate, fixed-term debt tokens for a discount.  When the term expires they can be redeemed for face value, earning lenders a predictable return on their investment.

Provide Liquidity:  Earn trading fees by providing liquidity between debt tokens and stablecoins on an Automated Market Maker (AMM).

Roobee (ROOBEE) is a blockchain-based investment platform that allows users to invest in products from both the traditional and crypto markets. The platform is under active development and is already operational. Behind the platform is a team of developers who won prizes in hackathons, including the 2017 and 2019 ETHWaterloo hackathons held in Canada by ETHGlobal.

The mission of Roobee is to give any person with any level income an opportunity to invest starting just from $10 in investment products that are only available to big institutional players, qualified investors, millionaires, and funds. With the help of the Roobee platform, the goal is to empower people from all over the world to invest in any of the many investment products available on the platform: crypto, stocks, ETFs, IPOs, real estate, and more.

Revain is an online platform for Ethereum blockchain-based tokens reviews, designed to allow developers to receive constructive feedback about their projects. The protocol also incentivizes authors to provide high-quality reviews.

Revain was the first platform to combine the features of traditional review sites and blockchain technology. Revain’s ultimate goal is to create a legitimate and genuine feedback structure for all global products and services that utilize emerging technologies, such as machine learning and blockchain.

Revain implements artificial intelligence tools and a manual review system to ensure the high quality of reviews. The core features of the protocol include:

Legitimate reviews: Revain uses only original content from a diverse range of experts on its website.

Stable system: the protocol runs on two different tokens, the REV and the RVN, allowing for smooth functioning of the system. The RVN token helps facilitate interactions between users on the platform.

Immutable information: The system does not allow both regular users and Revain itself to edit the information of other users.

The Suterusu Protocol is a second-layer private payment infrastructure for smart contract platforms. The Suterusu Protocol uses the original and most advanced ZK-ConSnark algorithm that does not require a trusted setup. The algorithm’s proof size is significantly reduced and the proof generation and verification efficiency are greatly improved compared with similar solutions. Since no trusted setup is required, it is safe and transparent. The technical paper has been accepted by Eurocrypt 2021(https://eurocrypt.iacr.org/2021/acceptedpapers.php, https://eprint.iacr.org/2021/540). The Suterusu Protocol has been deployed on Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Heco, SmartBCH (BCH sidechain), Theta, etc. We plan to deploy Suterusu protocol on the following smart contract platforms including Near, Solana, Avalanche, Moonbeam, Plasma, Matic, etc. It is also the first privacy project funded by the official Cypherpunk Guild Fund of Near. We are also applying for the Solana and Polkadot ecosystem grant. The Suterusu Protocol intends to build a private payment infrastructure for any cryptocurrency. The Suterusu project has received investment from well-known institutions such as Dialectic (a fund founded by the former Polychain partner Ryan Zurr), Fundamental Labs, FBG, Continue Capital, DeFi Alliance, and other well-known institutions.
