Polybase is a state zk-rollup protocol, with native support for pluggable data storage and indexing. Polybase is better than using a centralized database like Firebase or Postgres because developers can encrypt data using wallets for “self sovereign data” and verifiably query Polybase from smart collections.

Bytecoin is the Next Generation anonymous cryptocurrency with egalitarian CPU and GPU mining.

Bytecoin

Built on top of the Bitcoin blockchain. Omni is a platform for creating and trading custom digital assets and currencies. It is a software layer built on top of the most popular, most audited, most secure blockchain -- Bitcoin. Omni transactions are Bitcoin transactions that enable next-generation features on the Bitcoin Blockchain. Our reference implementation, Omni Core is an enhanced Bitcoin Core that provides all the features of Bitcoin as well as advanced Omni Layer features.

Tezos is a new platform for smart contracts and decentralized applications.

The Tezos protocol offers a formal process through which stakeholders can efficiently govern the protocol and implement future innovations.

The Tezos blockchain was designed to facilitate formal verification, which helps secure smart contracts and avoid buggy code.

Tezos’ unique proof-of-stake consensus algorithm gives every stakeholder the opportunity to participate in the validation of transactions on the network and be rewarded by the protocol for doing so.

Tezos

A zero-fee, programmable, cryptocurrency with a Governance of checks and balances. If Ripple is taking on SWIFT, $STORE is taking on the global $21 Trillion credit and debit card markets.

A browser for the next-generation Web. Beaker is an experimental browser for exploring and building the peer-to-peer Web.

Beaker is a more powerful browser, for a more powerful Web. We believe the Web is at its best when it empowers creation and encourages participation. That's why we're building a browser for a person-to-person Web.

The Web enabled communication, collaboration, and creativity at a scale once unimaginable, but it's devolved into a landscape of isolated platforms that discourage customization and interoperability. The Web's value flows from the people who use it, yet our online experiences are dictated by corporations whose incentives rarely align with our own.

We believe the Web can (and must) be a people-first platform, where everybody is invited to create, personalize, and share.

That's why we're using peer-to-peer technology to improve how we create, share, and connect on the Web.

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.

Soramitsu is a blockchain technology company based in Japan. We are focusing on developing a digital identity platform for blockchains.  Proposor of Iroha (http://iroha.tech), a simple distributed ledger.

Hyperledger Iroha is a next-generation permissioned blockchain platform, aimed at helping businesses and financial institutions manage digital assets. Soramitsu was the original developer of Hyperledger Iroha and contributed it to the Linux Foundation's Hyperledger Project. Hyperledger Iroha is written in C++, making it ideal for use cases where high performance and reliability are needed, or for embedded systems. 

Soramitsu uses Hyperledger Iroha to create services for users, including mobile applications for managing digital assets, identity, and contracts. Through our use of Hyperledger Iroha, we hope to contribute to a safer and more efficient society.

Suite of fullnode implementations for BTC, BCH, LTC and HNS. Enterprise-level Bitcoin and Blockchain libraries. Built for businesses, miners, wallets, and hobbyists.

Bcoin is an advanced fullnode implementation built with JavaScript/NodeJS. It is easier to use, faster to learn and more well-documented than competing implementations.

Bcoin is the first fullnode implementation built specifically for production systems at scale. Originally created to be used as backend infrastructure for Purse.io, Bcoin enables companies to spin up consumer-grade bitcoin applications/wallet systems without the long-term concern of scalability, and security.

Included natively is a REST API, and a legacy JSON RPC API; both let you easily interact and manage large scale wallet systems on multiple blockchains.

Large scale e-commerce company processing many transactions? Online wallet provider? Bcoin has wallet accounting built right in, making user fund management even easier.
