While the market continues to fluctuate, a significant number of projects continue to develop their platforms and this week’s three coins to watch are all connected to project’s that are close to announcing their mainnet launches.

High Performance Blockchain (HPB)

High Performance Blockchain (HPB) is a new combination of hardware and software blockchain architecture. It includes a chip accelerator engine and underlying blockchain platform, and is designed to achieve performance extensions for distributed applications. It is an easy to use high performance blockchain platform, combining industry depth to meet the business needs of the real world, and provide speed and scalability.

Why High Performance Blockchain?

After unveiling the launch of their testnet and updates to their official website earlier in the year, the HPB team are now set to announce the launch of their HPB MainNet Release (v1.1) on August 28. This announcement should breathe life into a coin that is possibly now undervalued.

EDIT: Please note that High Performance Blockchain re-scheduled the release of their mainnet to September 24.

Zeepin (ZPT)

Zeepin aims to become the first customizable platform dedicated to decentralizing creative works. The team are working towards being the leading blockchain platform that will facilitate transactions and investment in creating the industries. Writers, designers, and other artists can use the platform to protect their work and to connect with other artists, and recruit new talents.

Why Zeepin?

The team has announced that they are close to completing work on their mainnet and the official Mainnet launch is scheduled to take place around August 31.

Tron (TRX)

TRON is a blockchain based decentralized protocol that aims to construct a worldwide free content entertainment system while utilizing blockchain and distributed storage technology. The protocol allows users to publish, store, and own data, while the decentralized system manages subscriptions, distribution and the push of content.

Why Tron?

The Tron team continue to develop their platform and after delivering their testnet and mainnet recently, the team followed up by delivering their Virtual Machine Testnet at the end of July. They are now ready to announce their MainNet upgrade completion and the official launch of their MainNet TVM. The Mainnet launch is scheduled for August 30, and the TRX token is known to be volatile and could experience some positive price action ahead of the scheduled launch.
