# Projects running Social Mining

### Social Mining vs Proof of Engagement&#x20;

DAO Maker offers two main software solutions for tokenized startups. Social mining and proof of engagement. Social mining allows users to self regulate and form a DAO based on their token holdings and their value merits within the DAO. Proof of engagement is a community management tool for pre TGE Tokens. All control is within the team and they can give direct orders to the community.

## Projects currently running Social Mining

### LTO Network -  Making blockchain easy in every organization

The LTO Network team is on a mission to create and maintain a fully decentralized and highly efficient blockchain infrastructure, directly applicable and aimed at creating value for organizations.

LTO Network can be used by any company with a need for a production-ready blockchain that allows for digital verification of digital assets and enabling collaboration through the use of decentralized workflows.

### Ferrum Network - Financial Technology for Emerging Markets

Ferrum Network, designed by a distributed systems expert with over ten years experience at the world’s biggest tech companies, was built to address two fundamental problems impeding the mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies: slow transaction speeds and the lack of interoperability between networks.

Instead of building a standalone network, Ferrum Network leverages the values of existing blockchains and connects them to a high-speed transaction layer, that enables peer-to-peer transactions of any digital asset.

Like the Lightning Network for every blockchain, Ferrum’s revolutionary technology brings networks together, for a consistently high-speed, low-cost transaction experience for every digital asset, whether BTC, ETH, XRP, EOS, Zcash, and so forth. It even works with fiat currencies.

## Projects that are Running Proof of Engagement

### Elrond Network - Scalable value transfer protocol for the digital economy

Elrond is a new blockchain architecture, designed from scratch to bring a 1000-fold cumulative improvement in throughput and execution speed. To achieve this, Elrond introduces two key innovations: a novel Adaptive State Sharding mechanism, and a Secure Proof of Stake (PoS) algorithm, enabling linear scalability with a fast, efficient, and secure consensus mechanism.&#x20;

Thus, Elrond can process upwards of 10,000 transactions per second (TPS), with 5-second latency, and negligible cost, attempting to become the backbone of a permissionless, borderless, globally accessible internet economy.

### 2Key Network - Transform Today's Links for Tomorrow's Decentralized Web

#### 2key Network allows businesses to generate Smart Links, binding smart contracts into normal HTTP web links

Sharing valuable information with the right people generates revenue for businesses. However, the wealth that is generated is not granted to the people who forwarded the information.

Apps lack users as the on-boarding process is complicated and expensive. 2key Protocol allows DApps to on-board any person on the internet by turning their browser into a node with a non-custodial wallet that can seamlessly acquire DApp tokens with fiat. ‍ The Protocol is a layer-two scalability solution, cutting through any bottlenecks DApps face. Its ability to natively offer DApp developers access to third-party service providers, called integrators, ensures developers only need to worry about their work.
