Universal Store of Value (USV) is a logical, fair, and energy-efficient alternative to Bitcoin:
Bitcoin pays miners in newly-minted inflationary coins but doesn’t reward its "hodlers". USV, in contrast, rewards its hodlers (stakers).
USV’s multi-chain protocol, available on many networks, stands in stark contrast to Bitcoin’s Proof-of-Work, energy-inefficient blockchain. The users can choose to hold USV on an energy-efficient eco-friendly blockchain such as Avalanche or Polygon.
Even after 13 years of existence, the top 10,000 holders in Bitcoin still control about 1/3 of the cryptocurrency in circulation, according to a study by the National Bureau of Economic Research. 3 of USV’s largest initial wallets, however, are Protocol lockboxes that aren't owned by anyone (PODL, RACL, KFML wallets constitute 65% of the initial supply). These large initial holdings belong to no one and the principals are permanently locked. Furthermore, PODL (50% of initial supply) is never staked and therefore, gets diluted over time, allowing for new comers to gain market share. 
USV’s approach starkly contrasts other VC-funded protocols in which inequity rules: a small number of large investors own the vast majority of the initial supply. (Read the next few sections for details of NETD strategy.)
Central to USV’s ethos of equality is the charitable donation built into the protocol through its Reciprocal Altruism Charity Lockbox (RACL). We hope all protocols adopt the same win-win philanthropic ideology as USV to improve the world we live in.

Opium is a new platform for launching and trading cryptocurrency derivatives.

Having begun operations in May 2020, Opium uses Ethereum to run a decentralized derivatives marketplace in which any cryptocurrency owner can participate.

The aim of the platform is to democratize access to financial derivatives while using the benefits that decentralization affords traders over legacy alternatives.

Opium’s in-house token, OPIUM, launched in January 2021 and will fulfil various roles mostly centered around platform governance. Active users will be able to vote on some of the most important decisions involved in the platform’s operations.

YFDAI is an entire permission less DeFi ecosystem that combines Staking & Farming services and soon, Lending/Borrowing services, SafePredict, and Insurance together with their own DEX called SafeSwap and their own LaunchPad where legitimate projects in the DeFi space can launch their new vetted projects with contract audits, locked liquidity and locked dev tokens in time release smart contracts.  Whereas other DeFi protocols rely upon minting new tokens to sustain their staking and farming rewards, YFDAI has allocated tokens for these products which will be replenished with fees generated by the ecosystem. YFDAI also has a deflationary burn mechanism built into the platform that will ultimately reduce the total supply to just 13,950 tokens.

YFDAI’s mission is to clean up the DeFi space by de-risking the purchase of new projects by performing due diligence vetting and requiring adherence to the same protocols that YFDAI itself adhered to on their launch.  YFDAI’s motto is ‘no more exit scams or rug pulls.’

Populous is a network designed to offer small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) invoice liquidity for up to 90 days. Launched in 2017, Populous is designed to enable peer-to-peer (P2P) interaction between enterprises, boost liquidity and solve problems with working capital for SMEs.

By relying on blockchain technology and smart contracts, the Populous network facilitates decentralized communication between businesses and allows them to share liquidity pools. According to the network’s official whitepaper, there is a need for liquidity in the sector, and Populous is trying to bring the solution. By providing short-term liquidity to enterprises through P2P lending, the network gives enterprises quick access to capital, which cannot be achieved by waiting for customers to settle invoices.
