• Basecoin (stablecoin)

Created by blockchain startup Intangible Labs, Basecoin is a decentralized, price-stable cryptocurrency that aims to modify its supply by using a machine, decentralized, protocol-enforced-algorithm, monetary policy to lend it stability and maintain value. Founded by Princeton University graduates, Google and Quantitative Strategies executives, the Basecoin project is backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Bain Capital Ventures, Libertus Capital, PolyChain Capital, Pantera Capital, Digital Currency Group, 1confirmation, and MetaStable Capital.

• Blockstack (network)

A network for decentralized applications accessed through the Blockstack browser. Blockstack is a new type of Internet browser which uses the blockchain to enable decentralized storage and decentralized authentication & identity for applications allowing interactions between users and applications seamlessly. Users of applications like Facebook or Google would have a shared login and retain control of their identity as the blockchain identifies them within applications. Blockstack is backed by Union Square Ventures, Foundation Capital, Lux Capital, Winklevoss Capital, Blockchain Capital, Digital Currency Group, Y Combinator partner Qasar Younis, Techcrunch founder Michael Arrington and Digg founder Kevin Rose. The co-founders of the blockchain have graduated from Princeton University.

• Telegram (Encrypted messaging)

Encrypted messaging startup Telegram plans to launch its own blockchain platform and native cryptocurrency, powering payments on its chat app and beyond. The “Telegram Open Network” (TON) is very likely to become a new, third generation blockchain with superior capabilities, after Bitcoin and, later, Ethereum paved the way. The launch will be funded with an enormous Initial Coin Offering, with forthcoming private pre-sales ranging into the hundreds of millions, potentially making it one of the largest ICOs to date.
