Zen is a decentralized financial platform, built from scratch with the goal of providing people with a secure, scalable and useful infrastructure for creating their own financial instruments, and trading them directly without intermediaries. The Zen blockchain is secured by multiple proof-of-work algorithms, with token-holder voting on the balance between them. Multi-hash mining creates robust incentives for miners to deliver efficient, reliable security. Zen smart contracts are written and secured by a subset of the F* functional programming language, allowing users to: A) Prove the amount of resources a contract will consume and provide the necessary fees for running the contract to miners, removing the need for a “gas” based system. B) Prove their contracts meet a given specification, meaning they can prove the contract will definitely do (or not do) something given a specific set of parameters. The Zen platform comes with a built-in solution for oracles, which provide contracts with useful real world data. Finally, Zen is integrated with the Bitcoin blockchain, allowing contracts to observe and respond to native bitcoin transactions

RFID based labels that can link blockchain with physical objects. Solving the fakes problem in China. Technology already developed and commercially deployed, looking to scale now.

Fluence is the decentralized encrypted database for sensitive data, secured by blockchain technologies. For data owners, it allows store, share and monetize any structured data using smart contracts. For miners, it provides an opportunity to monetize unused storage space.

Foodcoin Ecosystem is a blockchain ecosystem designed to put up a global marketplace of food and agricultural products on the platform of 1000EcoFarms, using Ethereum technology. The platform is aimed to provide to the large and small producers and consumers of agricultural products an equal access to the global market of production and distribution of consumable goods for and foodstuffs using modern financial instruments.

Hivemind is a Peer-to-Peer Oracle Protocol which absorbs accurate data into a blockchain so that Bitcoin-users can speculate in Prediction Markets.

REIDAO seeks to introduce crypto assets that are backed by a particular real estate in the real world. This will create an exposure towards the real estate market for the crypto assets holders, such as rental income generation and capital appreciation from the underlying property. These crypto assets will follow the ERC20 Token Standard, and will be able to be integrated with other services on the Ethereum blockchain

With recent advances in peer-to-peer data distribution and blockchain technology, Rex will provide universal access to real estate information and streamline the transaction process.Rex will start by building a global multiple listing service, creating a data layer that is accessible to everyone. The database will minimize listing fees and maximize listing exposure. In our third phase, Rex will provide users the ability to create sale and lease “smart” contracts. Benefits include a savings on time, communication, and administrative costs. Finally, Rex will develop an architecture to create tokenized contracts with an exchange where property tokens can be traded.
