Base is an Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) network offering a secure, low-cost, developer-friendly way for anyone, anywhere, to build decentralized apps onchain. Our goal with Base is to make onchain the next online and onboard one billion users into the cryptoeconomy. In pursuit of this goal, Base will serve as both a home for Coinbase’s onchain products and an open ecosystem where anyone can build.

GoNetworks' GoToken - A Solid Cryptocurrency. A major concern with blockchain technology centers on speed and high cost of transactions. Transactions on blockchains like bitcoin are expensive and slow. With growing usage, Ethereum will fare no differently over time. GoNetworks solution solves this problem by allowing off-chain transactions.

Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: transaction management and money issuance are carried out collectively by the network.

The original Bitcoin software by Satoshi Nakamoto was released under the MIT license. Most client software, derived or "from scratch", also use open source licensing.

Bitcoin is the first successful implementation of a distributed crypto-currency, described in part in 1998 by Wei Dai on the cypherpunks mailing list. Building upon the notion that money is any object, or any sort of record, accepted as payment for goods and services and repayment of debts in a given country or socio-economic context, Bitcoin is designed around the idea of using cryptography to control the creation and transfer of money, rather than relying on central authorities.

Bitcoins have all the desirable properties of a money-like good. They are portable, durable, divisible, recognizable, fungible, scarce and difficult to counterfeit.

A personal server is a virtual computer which stores your data, runs your apps, and manages your connected devices. Urbit is a secure peer-to-peer network of personal servers, built on a clean-slate system software stack.

We are building a fully decentralized communications and storage utility that is open-source and maintains state by utilizing proof of stake (Casper).

RChain is pioneering transparent and secure transactions with an ultra-fast, global scale technology platform. Cooperative governance and a sustainable economic model make RChain a public utility that can be applied to climate change, data security, digital identity, and many other challenges we are collectively facing.

Intelligent concurrency throughout the network and right-sized validation of every transaction prevents wasted resources. Transactions now happen with low execution costs and greater efficiency.

RChain's decentralized architecture design does not compromise security to achieve scale. Rholang, RChain's contract programming language, lets developers write for concurrency and formally verify all processes.

An inspirational and radically transparent open-source cooperative. RChain's member-driven contributions enrich every part of the system, resulting in unlimited organic growth.

RCHAIN

Arweave is a data storage blockchain protocol based on a novel proof of access consensus mechanism that creates truly permanent data storage for the first time. Now data is finally permanent, low-cost, and truly censorship free.

Base

An Ethereum L2, incubated by Coinbase and built on the open-source OP Stack.
