FileCoin – $257mil
The Filecoin network achieves staggering economies of scale by allowing anyone worldwide to participate as storage providers. It also makes storage resemble a commodity or utility by decoupling hard-drive space from additional services. On this robust global market, the price of storage will be driven by supply and demand, not corporate pricing departments, and miners will compete on factors like reputation for reliability as well as price. Filecoin’s model will employ the peer-to-peer Interplanetary File System, or IPFS, to store and secure data. This model allows users to earn by donating their free hard drive storage space. Filecoin is going to compete with MaidSafe, another decentralized storage project.

Tezos (XTZ) – $232mil
Tezos is a secure, future-proof smart contract system. Because Tezos has a built-in consensus mechanism, its protocol can evolve and incorporate innovations over time, without the risk of hard forks splitting the market. Tezos is its own Blockchain, not a derivative of any other Blockchain. They didn’t just fork Bitcoin or Ethereum and add a layer onto it. Rather, they built our own from the ground up, and their smart contract language makes it easier to apply formal verification to any smart contract running on the Tezos Blockchain.
Bancor (BNT) – $195mil
The Bancor protocol enables built-in price discovery and a liquidity mechanism for tokens on smart contract blockchains. These “smart tokens” hold one or more other tokens in reserve and enable any party to instantly purchase or liquidate the smart token in exchange for any of its reserve tokens, directly through the smart token’s contract, at a continuously calculated price, according to a formula which balances buy and sell volumes.

EOS – £185mil
The EOS.IO software introduces a new blockchain architecture designed to enable vertical and horizontal scaling of decentralized applications. The software provides accounts, authentication, databases, asynchronous communication and the scheduling of applications across hundreds of CPU cores or clusters. The resulting technology is a blockchain architecture that scales to millions of transactions per second, eliminates user fees, and allows for quick and easy deployment of decentralized applications.
Status (SNT) – £108mil
With Status, your mobile device becomes a light client node on the Ethereum Network, enabling you to access Ethereum’s entire ecosystem from anywhere. Status is more than a messenger. Send payments and smart contracts to friends from within chats, and enjoy encrypted messaging by default, using a peer-to-peer protocol that doesn’t rely on centralized servers.
TenX (PAY) – £83mil
TenX makes digital currencies spendable, anytime, anywhere; and connects your blockchain assets for everyday use. TenX’s debit card and banking licence will allow us to be a hub for the blockchain ecosystem to connect for real-world use cases. The TenX wallet and the TenX card have been tested by well-known figures in the industry with payments in 50 countries across the world and are available to the public.
PressOne (PRS) – £82mil
PressOne is a Content Distribution Public Chain (CDPC) based on the EOS blockchain infrastructure. Many different content applications can be created on the chain such as Blog, E-Commerce, Forum, Photo sharing, Video sharing, Wiki, Music Publishing to name a few.
MobileGo (MOBILEGO) – $53mil
The First Crypto-Centric Mobile Gaming Platform and Store for In-Game Purchases. MobileGo tokens will be used to gamify the mobile platform, and to incentivize gamers for loyalty and participation through rewards. MobileGo will allow for the development of a decentralized virtual mobile gamer marketplace, the ability for gamer vs. gamer decentralized match play, and decentralized tournaments run on smart contracts.
SONM ( SNM) – £42mil
SONM is a global operating system that is also a decentralized worldwide fog supercomputer. Miners all over the world can leverage their idle computer power to become part of the SONM network. It has the potential to include unlimited computing power (IoE, IoT). Worldwide computations organized using SONM can serve to complete numerous tasks from CGI rendering to scientific computations. The defining feature of SONM is its decentralized open structure, where Buyers and Workers can interact with no middlemen, while building a market profitable for them first, unlike other cloud services (Amazon, Microsoft, Google). Unlike widespread centralized cloud services, the SONM project implements a fog computing structure – a decentralized pool of devices, all of which are connected to the internet (IoT / Internet of Everything).

Basic Attention (BAT) – $35mil
Digital advertising is broken. It is a market filled with middlemen and fraudsters, hurting users, publishers and advertisers. The Basic Attention Token (BAT) was developed to address this. BAT, an ERC20 token built on top of Ethereum, will be the token of utility in a new, decentralized, open source and efficient blockchain-based digital advertising platform. In the ecosystem, advertisers will give publishers BATs based on the measured attention of users. Users will also receive some BATs for participating. They can donate them back to publishers or use them on the platform. This transparent system keeps user data private while delivering fewer but more relevant ads. Publishers experience less fraud while increasing their percentage of rewards. And advertisers get better reporting and performance.
The first part of the solution, the Brave browser, is already operational. Brave is a fast, open source, privacy-focused browser that blocks ads and trackers, and contains a ledger system that anonymously measures user attention aggregate to accurately reward publishers. The next step is introducing BAT.
Basic Attention Token radically improves the efficiency of digital advertising by creating a new token that can be exchanged between publishers, advertisers, and users.
