FLock.io aims to build a decentralized, privacy-preserving solution for Artificial Intelligence. It has proposed a research initiative called Federated Learning Blocks (FLocks for short), which uses blockchain as a coordination platform among data holders to conduct Machine Learning while keeping data local and private. By replacing the central entity that collects data and organizes machine learning with blockchain, FLocks aims to empower users to mine insights from their own data and monetize at their own discretion.

Nym is a privacy platform that provides strong network-level privacy against sophisticated end-to-end attackers, and anonymous access control using blinded, re-randomizable, decentralized credentials. It protects privacy at the network layer by encrypting and relaying users' internet traffic through a multi-layered network called a mixnet. In each layer of the mixnet, mix nodes mix users' internet traffic with that of other users, making communications private and hiding metadata such as IP address, who they are talking to, when and where, and more.

Secret Network is an independent, base-layer blockchain network built using the Cosmos SDK. It supports smart contract development and introduces data privacy by default for these contracts, enabling developers to build decentralized applications that also protect user data and preserve privacy. The protocol implements "programmable privacy," which is defined as arbitrarily complex data privacy controls within an application. Secret Network calls these privacy-preserving applications "Secret Apps." On February 13, 2020, Secret Network's mainnet went live, and its goal is to become the data privacy center of Web3.
