Hagglin is a peer-to-peer marketplace combined with a peer-to-peer logistics system, delivered using blockchain technology. There are many marketplaces where individuals can buy and sell goods and services, but the delivery logistics are typically left to more traditional means like postal services, UPS or FedEx. Likewise, many peer-to-peer logistics systems have sprung up in recent years that enable transportation of goods while circumventing traditional delivery services at a far lower cost. However, these marketplaces and systems are all fragmented, and there has yet to be a single platform that combines them in a way that is open and transparent.

A new project proposes to utilize the power of Ethereum’s smart contract technology for simplifying loaning to small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs). WishFinance, as the new Singapore-based blockchain venture is titled, is created in response to the growing number of issues faced by SMEs as the whole. Primarily, these businesses are unable to get loans as fast they need; or generally because of the lack of adequate assets for collateral, as required by the banks and other similar lenders. While in many cases, banks dry up the loaning pool by favoring big corporations over small businesses, mainly through corrupt means.Wish Finance's token is convertible into company's equity after the ICO anytime at request of the owner.

Horizon State is a blockchain-based platform and ecosystem that enables efficient vote casting and decision making processes. The platform operates through the use of Decision Tokens (HST). Horizon State’s use of blockchain technology addresses the security of the vote. Data stored on the blockchain itself is distributed and tamper-proof - not owned by any individual or institution - there is no way to alter it. Planning and executing geographically centralised votes is long and expensive - and infrequent as a result. Paired with blockchain, Horizon State delivers convenient voting to mobiles and PCs, with immediacy. Traditional methods of voting cost taxpayers upwards of $7 per vote to facilitate- $25 in some cases. Horizon State’s blockchain voting solution is far cheaper, remaining under $0.50.
