Zeitgeist is an evolving blockchain for prediction markets and futarchy. It is a cross-chain protocol for creating, trading, and resolving prediction markets as well as the governance mechanism and a court system for overseeing the network.

Trusted Key allows financial institutions to deploy secure and frictionless KYC solutions, password-less authentication systems, and enhanced document signing procedures, all based on the user’s real-world identity. The Trusted Key Digital Identity Platform provides a secure, reusable, and privacy-preserving way for users to bring online their definitive identity documents (driver’s license, passport etc.) and turn them into Trusted Key Cryptographic Credentials they control. Users can then use their Trusted Key Credentials to securely establish their real-world identity to any online service or app, authenticate themselves to any app or service without the use of passwords, digitally sign documents, and much more, all using their mobile device.

Edgeware, an experimental actively-governed chain and “testnet with real value” that runs Wasm and Ethereum smart contracts. Edgeware is a recursively self-improving WebAssembly smart contract chain, and an incentivized testnet for active governance.

Edgeware is being launched with a minimal governance system. The goals are twofold: to get a working system in the hands of stakeholders, and so further work done benefits from direct, on-chain feedback. The first governance system will include identity, proposals, and a treasury:

The identity system will allow users to mirror their Github handles to Edgeware. Everyone will have a persistent identity.

The proposal system will support discussing and voting on several types of resolutions, including signaling proposals (resolutions with no binding effect), funding proposals, and network upgrades.
The treasury system will accumulate tokens every time a new block is minted.

Over the long term, the evolution of the network will depend on the community members and stakeholders. To make that easier, future improvements to Edgeware will ensure that creating DAOs on the Edgeware network will be easy and practically free. It will be possible for DAOs to use a variety of decision-making processes: 1-person-1-vote, quadratic voting, futarchy, and so on.

The goal is for Edgeware to be the foundation for experiments with many different governance systems in parallel. If a new voting scheme or participation model develops a successful track record, other DAOs can choose to adopt it.

The foundation for Edgeware is Parity Substrate, a framework for creating new blockchains derived from the Polkadot project. Substrate implements nearly all the code necessary to launch a working blockchain, including libp2p networking, a WebAssembly runtime, PBFT consensus, and clients for running nodes and proof-of-stake validators. The engineering effort for creating Edgeware is thus limited to building the governance systems, creating well-tested compile toolchains for writing C/C++/Rust smart contracts that can be compiled to Ethereum WebAssembly (Ewasm), and porting over a pipeline for existing Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) smart contracts to be run on Ewasm.

Shyft is a Blockchain-based network where organizations can obtain, inquire and work with sensitive data efficiently and securely.

Trust is an essential component of connectivity in communication. As we've become more dependent on technology, we've also become more distrustful due to numerous breaches of trust in the form of cybersecurity failures and widespread theft.

Astar Network, Previously Plasm, a Substrate Runtime Module Library which allows developers to add Plasma functions to their Substrate chain easily and seamlessly. Since Plasm is an SRML, developers can also make both plasma parent chains and plasma child chains with Substrate.

Human Trust Protocol. Billions of users on the Internet interact with each other every day on messengers, online communities, social networks and peer-to-peer marketplaces, making contact with people they never met let alone trust.

Trustory is a social network for experts to identify what is true and what isn't. You earn tokens for identifying accurate information and refuting inaccurate information and lose tokens otherwise. The app is currently focused exclusively on cryptocurrency-related topics.

Our mission is to bring authenticity into the digital and decentralized world. As we move toward an increasingly decentralized world, upholding the veracity of all kinds of information has become exponentially more difficult. There are no longer universally trusted central parties to keep tabs on what's real. We now live in a world in which people and entities can make false claims (especially in crypto) and profit off of them because no unified resource exists to authenticate the truth. TruStory uses the power of token economics to create a more trustworthy reality and make community-driven validation tools readily accessible to anyone.

Pontem Network is the bridge between Crypto and Diem by Facebook.

Pontem is a bridge between the regulated and unregulated worlds that will allow exchanging value between the two. It is backed by Wings Foundation, a Swiss-based non-profit foundation established in 2016.

What Pontem does is connect Diem and the decentralized world, including traditional crypto markets. The network will help Diem users get access to all the use-cases provided by the unregulated society, such as financial instruments, security tools, and even games.
