XEM is notorious for a hack, but the way it was cleaned up was expert-level. The NEM network is building support in the Australian and Southeast Asian markets. It has a strong community that supports it because of how great the team has been so far. This blockchain is on the level of Ethereum or NEO/GAS and uses Java-based API calls to connect to other networks. The interoperability, ease of use, and solid support makes this a great project.See full review

Bytom uses Tensority PoW mining and supports blockchain interoperability. The tri-layer approach makes it nimble, and it has so far passed through both U.S. and Chinese regulation. This project is toeing all the right lines and is a seriously undervalued crypto project. When AI machine learning algorithms and big data start ruling the technological roost, the value of Bytom will really be seen.See full review

VeChain Thor is a solid project with a lot of great partnerships, including Hyperledger, Renault, PwC and more. They're expanding beyond supply chain into enterprise operations. This is definitely the B2B blockchain platform to beat.See full review

It takes a lot of paperwork and filing, but the network has built-in templates and expert help to make it easier. Dapp development is strong, with tZero, Minthealth, Corl, BlockEstate, and more in developmSee full review

The Aelf project is grossly underrated and ignored. This is a great platform similar to Ethereum but relieving issues in speed, development, and scalability. Its investors include a lot of established and accredited VC firms, and investing before the 2019 token swap is a good bet in my opinion.See full review
