Firo (FIRO), formerly known as Zcoin, is a cryptocurrency that focuses on being private digital cash. It created the Lelantus privacy protocol which allows users to burn their coins and redeem them later for brand new ones that do not have any transaction history.

Prior to Lelantus, it was also the first cryptocurrency to code and launch a practical implementation of the Zerocoin protocol which became one of the most prevalent privacy protocols in use, prior to it being replaced by Sigma and then Lelantus after cryptographic flaws were discovered in the Zerocoin protocol in 2019.

EthereumPoW (ETHW) is a hard fork of Ethereum blockchain with the Ethereum Merge. The Merge saw Ethereum transition to proof-of-stake, while the forked version remains on proof-of-work.

Bitcoin Gold was founded in 2017 to become a user-friendly alternative to Bitcoin. The BTG network aims to combine the security and sturdiness of the Bitcoin blockchain and its characteristics with the opportunity for experimentation and development.

BTG enhances and extends the crypto space with a blockchain closely compatible with Bitcoin but without using resources like Bitcoin hash power or vying for the "real Bitcoin" title. The company aims to present a coin with the implementation capabilities of Bitcoin, however, expanding on the opportunities for DeFi and DApp developers to use the coin.

Ravencoin is a digital peer-to-peer (P2P) network that aims to implement a use case specific blockchain, designed to efficiently handle one specific function: the transfer of assets from one party to another. Built on a fork of the Bitcoin code, Ravencoin was announced on Oct. 31, 2017 and released binaries for mining on Jan. 3, 2018 with what is called a fair launch: no premine, ICO or masternodes. It was named in reference to a TV show Game of Thrones.

Peercoin, also known as PPC or Peer-to-Peer Coin, was created by Sunny King and his team and launched in August 2012. It is the first blockchain to implement Proof-of-Stake consensus.

The primary inspiration behind the creation of Peercoin was to address a number of perceived shortcomings of Bitcoin, including energy efficiency, security and sustainability, decentralization and long-term viability.

Essentially it was designed as an enhanced replacement for Bitcoin. As such, it was originally forked from Bitcoin and uses the same UTXO style blockchain. However, Peercoin's code was modified to introduce Proof-of-Stake as its primary consensus protocol. The next section explains how this makes for a better blockchain.

Given that Peercoin uses most of the same code, it can easily port new features from Bitcoin and utilize any of the supporting infrastructure, including tech advancements like Taproot or Lightning Network. Peercoin is the only Proof-of-Stake blockchain that uses modern Bitcoin code, making it the perfect drop-in replacement.

Peercoin also has a dedicated community, is actively developed, fairly distributed, has low barriers of participation, can do everything that Bitcoin does, minus the 13 TWh of energy usage, and it's not a scam.

Handshake is a decentralized permissionless system that is intended to incentivize a distributed network of computers to operate a system for domain name ownership.

Under Handshake, every peer is tasked with validating and managing the root DNS naming zone, with the objective of providing an alternative to current certificate authorities and naming systems.

Different participants across the internet such as social networking handles and domains rely on a centralized approach. This means the systems depend on a system of honesty — and are still prone to cyber attacks and fraud.

Handshake aims to eradicate this problem by creating a decentralized internet that relies on a peer-to-peer system.

Nimiq is a decentralized payment system and cryptocurrency designed to simplify and democratize the use of cryptocurrencies for everyone. It stands out by being a non-profit, open-source project with its own unique blockchain. The core mission of Nimiq is to offer an ecosystem that is accessible and easy to use without sacrificing the principles of decentralization.

One of the defining features of Nimiq is its browser-based blockchain technology, which allows users to engage with the network directly without the need for third-party nodes. This approach is in contrast to other major cryptocurrencies, where interacting through a third-party service is often the norm. By enabling direct participation, Nimiq aims to foster a more inclusive and user-friendly environment for cryptocurrency transactions.

Nimiq has also introduced several innovative technologies to enhance its ecosystem. The Nimiq OASIS protocol is a notable development, acting as a DeFi crypto-fiat bridge that facilitates atomic swaps between cryptocurrencies like NIM and BTC, and fiat currencies such as EUR, with plans to expand to other currencies. This protocol enables seamless and private transactions without requiring personal information, making it a significant step forward in the integration of cryptocurrencies with traditional financial systems.

Another groundbreaking technology developed by Nimiq is Albatross, a proof-of-stake consensus algorithm designed to significantly increase transaction speeds and efficiency. With the upcoming launch of Nimiq 2.0, Albatross is expected to achieve transaction speeds of around 1000 transactions per second (TPS) and achieve finality in just one second, all while reducing energy consumption to less than 1% of the current proof-of-work system. This upgrade positions Nimiq at the forefront of blockchain innovation, pushing the limits of what is possible within a single-chain blockchain protocol.

Furthermore, the transition to Nimiq 2.0 will introduce a "super-halving" event, drastically reducing the emission rate of NIM, which could have implications for the network's economy and the scarcity of the token.

The Nimiq project is supported by a strong and dedicated community, with various resources and platforms available for newcomers to learn more and engage with the ecosystem. Whether through community forums or educational content, there is a wealth of information available for those interested in Nimiq and its vision for a more accessible and user-friendly cryptocurrency landscape.

As with any investment in cryptocurrencies, it's important to conduct thorough research and consider the risks involved.
