Remember when Jeff Bezos said he wanted to sell books out of his garage? Book retailers laughed. Remember when Netflix started a rent DVD-by-mail service? Blockbuster Video laughed. Remember the time Travis got hacked? He had the last laugh.

Today we’ll present you with three companies who intend to take on the giants of their industry with blockchain-based solutions for real-world problems.

It’s David vs. Goliath, and warning to Goliath… David has blockchain.

Cardstack Cardstack is the experience layer of the decentralized Internet, orchestrating workflows across dApps and the cloud. Cardstack combines a composable user interface, open-source data orchestration hub, and community-governed consensus protocol allowing users, makers, and miners to join together in a sustainable app ecosystem, backed by a hybrid token that coordinates real-world utility, work, and reward. Users stake a single token to use all the apps and services they need; miners are paid for powering a consensus protocol that validates a shared reward pool; and makers are paid from the reward pool according to rules governed by the community.

Coti Our vision at COTI, Currency of the Internet, is to empower global merchants and consumers to freely exchange value as simply as information is exchanged on the Internet. Watch our flagship video here and explainer video here. As it stands, current payment systems are riddled with high fees, long settlement periods and false positives, which drive down merchant profits. Cryptocurrencies, on the other hand, have not been able to address these issues due to scalability challenges, volatile prices, lack of buyer-seller protections, slow remittance, a complicated user experience and the absence of regulation. COTI has developed the Trustchain™, a unique base-protocol with FinTech application layers, which aims to solve the downfalls of the payments industry. By reconciling the best of traditional payments with the best of cryptocurrencies COTI will be poised to spearhead the mass adoption of digital currencies all around the world. At COTI, we plan to disrupt the two trillion dollar consumer-merchant payments space, which has been monopolized by Visa and MasterCard for the past 40 years. (See this video) The COTI Trustchain™ is based on a directed acyclic graph (DAG), which creates a scalable and blockless protocol that can be utilized by any industry that needs high throughput and trust to operate, such as the payments space. You can also read more in our whitepaper. International remittances, micropayments and nanopayments, insurance and even digital advertising are among additional industries identified for future applications based on our Trustchain™ protocol. Artis ARTIS is a Blockchain framework revolutionizing the way we transact. Three major problems are addressed: scalability, energy consumption and coin distribution. ARTIS will allow businesses to access millions of people with cutting edge instant value transfers, high throughput and low operational cost. It will use a modified Ethereum protocol and the Tendermint PoS consensus algorithm for the nodes. SUBSCRIBE, RATE, & REVIEW:
